Eclipse add library problem

aidan_walsh

Hey guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble adding a library to my project.

I have created a sub folder lib in my project folder, and put the JAR file into that (nanoxml-lite-2.2.3.jar). I then added the JAR to the build path in the Libraries tab of the Build Path editor.

Now this all works fine when I'm in Eclipse. I can navigate through the JAR under the Package Explorer, and I can reference the files while editing code. The problem comes when I launch the application.

I'm writing a MIDlet, emulating it with the Motorola EclipseME-supplied plugin emulator. I get no errors when the app is building, but when I am running it and it gets as far as that classes call it throws out ALERT: Unable to load class nanoxml/XMLElement and shuts down.

I'm using Eclipse 3.2.1, Java 6, WTK 2.2, Motorola SDK 6.3 for Motorola OS Products and its bundled EclipseME 1.5.0 plugin.

Anyone have any ideas?

try adding it to the Runtime classpath for the plugin (runtime tab in the manifest), had a similar problem and that fixed it for me

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that...

saml1

is it a plugin you are developing?
if so, add it to the classpath in your manifest.mf under Runtime tab
if not
go to your Run properties and add the jar to the classpath

(ie. you need the library at runtime in your classpath)
See Eclipse help: Creating a Java application launch configuration

Its not a plugin.

I'm writing a MIDlet, emulating it with the Motorola EclipseME-supplied plugin emulator.

For whats its worth, I've checked inside the MIDlet JAR and the JAR file is being included. Still getting the error though.
