hello,

I am working with BlackBerry plugin for Eclipse and I need to import external Jar to my app. I followed some instructions I found -- preverified jar and imported it as referenced library. So now I have this

 

Now ... how can I import classes from this jar in my app? If I try

import my_lib.*;

 it doesn't find anything. 

Thanks for any help.

Hi ,

 just go to your build path of the project and configure your build path in that configuration just add the external jar in to the library and  export the jar.

Hope it will work!

welcome to the support forum.

how do you come up with "insert"?
the proper statement should be "import", and you should use the full package name used inside the library.

e.g.
import com.isec7.handheld.ui.ColorLabelField;

shivam284: Yes, I have already done that. Now I need to use classes from the Jar.

simon_hain: Sorry for the "insert", of course there should be import. But still, "the import my_lib cannot be resolved."

[simon_hain]

use the full package name.

expand jar file, then use package name which you declaired in jar like in above example "net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform" is package in jar.

for import classes and interface inside the package use:

import net.rim.blackberry.api.bbm.platform.*;

thanks,

Thanks for replies. But the problem is ... classes are generated by Cibyl and they are not part of any package (they are in "default package"). Does it mean I can't use them?

[simon_hain]

if its in the default package you should be able to use
import Cibyl;
etc

[Cainer]

I can't If I try to import any class, it says "Symbol cannot be resolved".

Hi Cainer,

i think you are using like import Cibyl;

if you want to import Cibyl class use syntax:  import Cibyl.java;

thanks,
