What to do when java.util is missing on a Mac

Question

This is kind of weired but my Mac/Eclipse isn't offering me any java.util classes. I am still able to run the project which contains heavy use of (let's say) Vector, but I am not able to add a new Vector in the code anywhere.

Eclipse isn't offereing me...

I spent the last night reconfiguering the installed JRE's and build path etc. but it remains ...

I am running Java 1.60 on mac. I tried Eclipse Galielo, Ganymede.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Check that:

• Your source folders are configured property in Project Properties (right click on the project)
• You have a reference to the JRE in the Java Build Path Libraries section of Project Properties and that this is a valid JRE
• You are not missing any JARs on the class path - again these will be flagged up in Project Properties

Also try Cleaning your project and making sure that Build Automatically is on.
