I have an executable jar that has one class file with a wrong value. I requested that file from the author and corrected the value.
Now I want to compile it and add the compiled class file into the jar and run it.
Not surprisingly I get multiple "cannot find symbol" errors for references of custom object that were in the jar file.
I tried to compile the file by referencing the jar file in the classpath like so
C:/> javac file.java -classpath C:/folder/where/jar/is
but this doesnt seem to work... I get the same errors as if just doing
C:/> javac file.java
Is there a way to compile this individual class somehow referencing the other files in the jar?
Thanks.
Errors I am getting while following some of the suggestions below here:
javac -classpath C:/jar/location.jar File.java File.java:226: cannot find symbol symbol : class Stuff location: class com.shared.stuffers Stuff s1 = new Stuff(); ^
Stuff class is found in the Jar, but can not be seen by the javac program... I feel like I am doing something wrong but not sure where? Thanks.
