Error trying to use import.jxl... statements.

Question

Hey,

I am working on a program using eclipse galileo and jdk 6. The problem is that when I use any import.jxl... statement I get an error in eclipse and it won't compile. So statements like "import jxl.write.Label;" give me an error. I don't understand why that is. It says it doesn't like the jxl statements. If I use any import.java... or import.javax... then they work fine. Any Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Sounds like you need to add the jxl jar file to your build path.

Answer 2

in your project properties dialog (Project menu/Properties), under Java Build Path, select the 'Libraries' tab. there you have the option of including jars or class files from other projects that you have open or jars and class files from elsewhere on your filesystem. once you locate your jxl.jar and add it, it should show up in the tree in this Libraries tab.
