I'm using this code:
for (final String code : Locale.getISOCountries())
{
//stuff here
}
But on compile I get this error:
[ERROR] Line 21: No source code is available for type java.util.Locale; did you forget to inherit a required module?
And then a stack trace of compiler errors.
I'm doing both of these imports at the beginning of the class:
package com.me.example;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.*;
What can be wrong?
In Netbeans i see the autocomplete options and no syntax error for the Locale object...
Something screwy with your setup, the folllowing program works fine for me.
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Donors {
public static void main (String [] args) {
for (final String code : Locale.getISOCountries()) {
System.out.println (code);
}
}
}
The fact that it's asking for source code leads me to believe that it's trying to compile or run it in some sort of debugging mode. You shouldn't need the source code for java.util.* to compile, that's just bizarre.
See if my simple test program works in your environment, then try looking for something along those lines (debugging options). Final step: compile your code with the baseline javac (not NetBeans).
UPDATE:
Actually, I have found something. If you are creating GWT applications, I don't think java.util.Locale is available on the client side (only the server side). All of the references on the web to this error message point to GWT and its limitations on the client side which are, after all, converted to Javascript goodies, so cannot be expected to support the entire set of Java libraries.
This page here shows how to do i18n on GWT apps and there's no mention of java.util.Locale except on the server side.
Looks like there might be something fishy in your build environment, as Locale.getISOCountries() should work just fine. Try compiling a small test program manually and see if you get the same error.
Definitely try to boil this down to a minimum, three-line program (or so), compile from the command-line, then put that class into your IDE and see if you still get the error, and if not, then change/add one line at a time until you have the original failing program, looking for what causes the problem. I'm thinking maybe some other import in your code is importing a Locale class? Why in the world would it be looking for source code?
See what happens when you compile this from the command-line:
import java.util.*;
public class LocaleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Locale.getISOCountries();
}
}

Many Websites allow a user to type in Java code and run it. How does a program accept Java written externally/at run time and run it?
The only/closest answer i see on StackOverflow is from 5 years ago about Android development that recommended using Janino (Compile and execute arbitrary Java string in Android). Is this still the way to go? Has a better approach (like something built into Java) appeared in the last half decade?
If it helps, I'm building a training app for my students. The code is short (a few methods, maybe 20 lines max) and they must use standard libraries (no need to worry about importing things from maven, etc.).
Like similar online coding sites, I'd like to return the output of the run (or compilation failure).
An example use case:
Webpage says "The code below has an error, try to fix it." A text box contains code. A semicolon is missing.
User modifies the code and presses submit.
The Webpage either returns a compile error message or success.
Another use case would be for me to execute unit tests on the code they submitted and return the result. The point being, I give the user feedback on the code compilation/run.
Here is a small example to use the Java compiler interface
import java.io.File;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import javax.tools.JavaCompiler;
import javax.tools.ToolProvider;
public class Compiler {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// compile the java file
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
int result = compiler.run(null, null, null, "D:\\development\\snippets\\Test.java");
System.out.println("compiler result " + result);
// load the new class
File classesDir = new File("D:\\development\\snippets\\");
URLClassLoader classLoader = URLClassLoader.newInstance(new URL[] { classesDir.toURI().toURL() });
Class<?> cls = Class.forName("Test", true, classLoader);
// invoke a method of the class via reflection
Object instance = cls.getDeclaredConstructors()[0].newInstance();
Method testMethod = cls.getMethod("test");
String testMethodResult = (String) testMethod.invoke(instance);
System.out.println(testMethodResult);
}
}
And here the test class
public class Test {
public String test() {
return "String from test.";
}
}
Running the Compiler class returns
compiler result 0
String from test.
At school, I write Java programs with Windows’ Java Editor (console mode). There, InOut.readInt() (used for user input) works without problems and I don’t have to import anything.
Now, I have a Java homework for the holidays, and I try to write Java programs on my Mac. In online console Java editors, the line InOut.readInt() causes this error:
/IntBetween10And100.java:8: error: cannot find symbol
int input = InOut.readInt("Integer --> ");
^
symbol: variable InOut
location: class IntBetween10And100
1 error
I already tried import lines (placed before the class) like:
import java.*
import java.util.*
import java.util.InOut
import java.io.BufferedStreamReader
import java.util.*;
public class IntBetween10And100 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int input = InOut.readInt("Integer --> ");
}
}
int input = InOut.readInt("Integer --> ");
should produce the line
Integer -->
but instead, the error message (seen above) appears.
OK, so you are using the "Java-Editor" tool on Windows for writing your Java code.
It turns out that Java-Editor includes a class called InOut as an example class. (You can see it here: http://javaeditor.org/doku.php?id=en:examples).
For various reasons, it is not suitable for use in production code of any kind:
It is not part of the Java SE class library, or any 3rd-party libraries.
It is a class in the default package
It has limited functionality, even compared to the real System.in and System.out
It would interfere with any application or 3rd party library code that uses System.in in the normal way. (It creates its own BufferedReader to wrap System.in. That is liable to capture "type-ahead" input.)
You don't really need to use it for educational purposes either. It is only a wrapper class ...
However, if you want to use InOut outside of the Java-Editor context, you could simply download the source code from the page above and add it to your project. I can't tell you exactly how, but adding classes should be explained in the documentation of the tool you are using now! (If you are serious about learning Java, I would actually recommend that you download and install a real Java JDK and a real Java IDE on your own computer.)
The authors have neglected to include an explicit copyright notice in the InOut.java file. However, the Java-Editor site as a whole is licensed as "CC Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International".
I built this project on NetBeans, and it runs fine from there. I can't get it to run on Shell.
The directory is .../AStarVacuum/src/astarvacuum
astarvacuum's contents are:
AStarVacuum.java Node.java VacuumUtils.java Grid.java
AStarVacuum.class Node.class VacuumUtils.class Grid.class
The main function is in AStarVacuum. The other java class files are also part of this project.
When I enter the command "java AStarVacuum" nothing happens other than shell lagging for a bit if I enter any other commands. I've waited without doing anything for it to do something for 30 minutes or so, even, but it gives me not output whatsoever.
Here is the code for the class containing main:
//package astarvacuum; from netbeans, commented out for shell
public class AStarVacuum {
public static void main(String[] args) {
...
}
}
And, here is the code for another class. The others were pretty similar:
//package astarvacuum;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.lang.Thread;
public class Node {
...
}
I'm kind of a newb at this; I usually use ides, but my professor wants me to submit this to a server and be able to run this from shell.
Any help would be appreciated.
I can run programs which do not have a package without any hitch. If I try and add a package then java simply cannot find them. I have set the class path and I have tried running - java packagename.ProgramName.
I have found a number of similar threads on here and have spent four hours going through all of them and trying everything and nothing works for me.
Yet as soon as I edit the .java file and recompile without a package heading - it immediately works perfectly. Why? And how can I fix it? I would like to be able to have my classes organised in packages!
This is the code I am using (I normally use eclipse and just wrote this to try out cmd out of curiosity).
package hello;
public class HelloWorldApp{
public static void helloWorld(){
System.out.println("Hello world");
}
}
and
package hello;
public class HelloBackApp{
public static void helloBack(){
System.out.println("Hello back");
}
public static void main(String[] args){
HelloWorldApp.helloWorld();
helloBack();
}
}
As I say if I delete both the package heading java HelloBackApp runs just fine.
And my path to my program is
c:\Users\sam\javastuff\hello
I have of course tried java hello.HelloBackApp from both the javastuff dir and the hello dir. No joy
It works immediately if I delete both the package headings and type java HelloBackApp from the hello directory.
try as follows,
create folder structure as your package and place java file in that folder
For ex, my java file is under
c:\code\com\test\Test.java and package is "package com.test".
I compiled and run code from
c:\code>
c:\code> javac com\test\Test.java
c:\code> java com.test.Test
Ok after much research I realised what my problem was and have fully resolved it. I think I see why I have been unable to find an "answer" to this question in forums. It is not a simple quick fix - my whole understanding of how to correctly get the class path set up and get a proper compile done was very poor. It becomes a whole new subject if you switch from compiling/running on an IDE to doing so from the command line. I think it is an excellent thing for new programmers to do though as I believe the improved understanding of CLASSPATH is going to be something that will stand us all in good stead for the future.
I found all the answers to my questions here : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-classpath-windows/
and recommend anyone having similar problems I was having to read through this excellent document. Best wishes to all the other guys struggling with this out there! :)
I'm working on java application which perform some Runtime sub-process on files, for some files I got error cause the Send error report to Microsoft window to appear ,I need to handle this error programmatically, without showing this window to user. Please can anyone help ?
To Suppress windows error reporting the .exe that is being invoked should not terminate with an unhandled exception. This only works if you have access to the source of the application.
Based on the WER Reference - you should use the Win32 API call WerAddExcludedApplication to add the specific .exe files that you are intending to ignore to the per-user ignore list - you could create a simple stub-application that allows you to add applications by name to the ignore list. Then when you invoke the application it does not trigger the error.
Similarly you could create another application to remove them using the WerRemoveExcludedApplication.
Alternatives are to use JNI/JNA to make a class to encapsulate this functionality rather than using Runtime.exec
Here is a simple example using Java Native Access (JNA), which is a simpler version of JNI (no C++ needed for the most part). Download the jna.jar and make it part of your project.
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.WString;
import com.sun.jna.win32.StdCallLibrary;
public class JNATest {
public interface CLibrary extends StdCallLibrary {
CLibrary INSTANCE = (CLibrary) Native.loadLibrary("wer.dll",
CLibrary.class);
int WerAddExcludedApplication(WString name, boolean global);
int WerRemoveExcludedApplication(WString name, boolean global);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
CLibrary.INSTANCE.WerAddExcludedApplication(new WString("C:\\foo.exe"), false);
CLibrary.INSTANCE.WerRemoveExcludedApplication(new WString("C:\\foo.exe"), false);
}
}
Basically, replace the new WString(...) value with the name of the application that you are intending to ignore. It should be ignored for the purposes of windows error reporting at that point.
Bear in mind that the wer.dll is only on Windows Vista and newer, so if this is a problem, then you may need to edit the registry entries manually.
You can always use try-catch-finally statement:
try
{
some code here (the code that is causing the error);
}
catch (Exception x)
{
handle exception here;
}
It works for me...
