error: package jxl does not exist

[shaun.wiseman91]

Hi all,

I have started a new project in eclipse which needs to interact with excell. I have added the jar using eclipse and it is present in the .classpath file but I am still getting this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.
3.2:testCompile (default-testCompile) on project JasperTest: Compilation failure
: Compilation failure:

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shaun

I have started a new project in eclipse which needs to interact with excell [sic].
I have added the jar [sic] using eclipse [sic] and it is present in the .classpath file but

What JAR is that?

I am still getting this error:

Does Maven use the .classpath file?

How does Maven resolve classpaths?

Apparently the JExcelApi JAR is not actually in your classpath.

Your own package would be spelled with all lower-case letters if you followed the usual convention.

Hi Lew,

Yes the maven projects use's .classpth file. How does it interact with it I have no idea.

The path to the JAR is present in the .classpath file : "<classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/jexcelapi/jxl.jar"/>" I have changed its location following this post.

I really have no idea how to fix this

AIUI from experience and
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/eclipse-mojo.html
Maven might generate a .classpath for Eclipse to use, but I don't know of any standard
setup where Maven reads .classpath for its data. Perhaps your project does something
idiosyncratic there. It would be worth curing your lack of idea.

The path to the JAR is present in the .classpath file : "<classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/jexcelapi/jxl.jar"/>" I have changed its location following this post.

In the .classpath file or on the file system?

From what to what?

I really have no idea how to fix this

What happens if you do the build by command line, without using Maven or Eclipse?

Listen better to what Lew says may help.

Thanks Lew!

I get what you mean now. I haven't even graduated yet from college so my knowledge is limited, Apologies for that, but you were a great help!

I will run it in command line and see what happens.

Thanks again.
Shaun

Arne, I suggest if you don't have input that's helpful don't post on threads! It was a waste of my time! I appreciate any help I get and I do listen to what he is saying, but I am trying to understand it.

 

[Lew]

Arne, I suggest if you don't have input that's helpful don't post on threads!

Get used to disappointment.

It was a waste of my time!
Awww.

I appreciate any help I get and I do listen to what he is saying,

Then develop a thicker skin. Arne was helping. Thank him.

but I am trying to understand it.

It would help if you would not scold those who help you.

Let me see:
- you post a question
- Lew post an explanation
- you some something that shows you did not understand Lew's answer
- I post that you should listen to Lew
- You post that now you understand Lew's post and you complain
that I told you to listen to Lew
?

Hmmm.....

Is this what is known as a circular reference ?

Actually not as I was referring to something else

Sup,

Who knew behind Arne's computer screen would be a pedantic troll. How unfortunate that is all the world needs, another common troll. :/

Its funny you act like you knew everything coming out of the womb;whoever that unfortunate person was.

Your Irish references are a little outdated also friend.

Done what? I don't think Arne should be overly concerned with criticism
from Shaun (not so) Wiseman, who cannot even make an explicit reference
to the post/poster he seems to refer to. Even a Google Groups user
should know how to keep a thread consistent. Instead, he comments on his
own original post.

[Edited]

Yea, struggling with the language again are we Lars?

"oh oh, now you've done it."

Infers (sic) that it won't be long before all Arne's cronies
speak up in his defense.

A quoted sentence cannot "infer" anything; perhaps you meant
"implies."

You're so full of yourself. I don't "struggle" with English. Where did I
do that?

"oh oh, now you've done it"

I was aware of the *implication*. I just questioned why you made the
remark, except to show your dislike of Arne (and Lew).

Infers that it won't be long before all Arnes cronies speak up in his
defense... and here we are. I have to admit, I was expecting that wanker
Bloch to pipe up first but the yanquies ain't up yet are they.

Arne and Lew may be abrasive occasionally, but they have valid points.

so, Lars you win todays 'jump on the newbie' prize

I did not jump on the newbie. I just found his attack on Arne to be
unwarranted, as was your comment.

I bet your mum is proud.

Cheap, totally unwarranted shot. You have no idea.

While I'm here, and as you seem to speak for the great oracle, why is it
that your pal Arne seems to feel the need to pontificate on EVERY
question in this Usenet newsgroup ?

Struggling with ortography, are you? There should be no space before a
question mark. Who made you moderator of this group?

????

Why is it trolling to give you the advice that per yourself
helped you solve your problem?

Its funny you act like you knew everything coming out of the womb

????

Why do you see a recommendation to read good advice again until
you understand it to be an indication of that?

Your Irish references are a little outdated also friend.

I don't think I made any Irish references.

Listen Bloch you sub-moron. I'm not the troll

I'm just giving you and you little group of self congratulatory pals
a taste of your own medicine and you don't like it do you. Your sort
never does.

You have by far the lowest s/n ratio.


And Lew is as most people here used to weird people posting here
with an agenda, so if you think he is much affected by your posts, then
I suspect that you are completely wrong. You are just the latest in
a very long line.
