I have a package zipped using Winrar, and want to import it using Eclipse IDE. I did that by using the "Import" function when you right-click on your project's name. But, when I create a new class, and type, say:
import element.*;
I get an error.
What should I do?
Thanks.
What is the error?
The error says:
The import element cannot be resolved.
When posting error messages, please post the full text of the error message. Don't edit it.
Where is element defined?
Is that your package located in the same location of the project folder is located?
Merely importing the file to your Eclipse project only makes the file a part of your project, it doesn't actually add it to your build path. You have to do that, too
Is that Eclipse don't automatically do that? I'm not an Eclipse user, that's why I ask that question, hope you are.Quote:

Or, if you've got multiple projects, one of which is a "lib" project (not uncommon) then the jar isn't meant to be used on that project's build path, but by other projects instead. So you have to import it, and then tell Eclipse it's part of your build pathQuote:

That's why you need to add them in the classpath.
