The declared package does not match the expected package

[oneforall]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem importing an external project. I go file->import->existing projects into workspace, choose the folder where the project is located and everything is imported - but the package names of the project don't seem to be what Eclipse expects. The package names all have a prefix:

prefix.packagename1
prefix.packagename2
etc.

But Eclipse expects

packagename1
packagename2
etc.

I don't really want to mess around with external code, so how do I tell Eclipse to create some kind of super-package "prefix"? Or what else can I do?

Thanks a lot,
oneforall

If you are not going to be changing it, why not bundle it into a jar file and include that jar file in your project's classpath.

P.S And all for one.

Okay... I forgot to mention that I'm also a noob and need serious hand-holding.
I just don't want to change the package names because I'm afraid of problems with external updates later. The whole thing came in a jar file, but adding that to the classpath doesn't help: It only adds another branch to my project containing class-files (the project comes with sourcecode and class-files in the same folders). What exactly should I bundle in a jar file and how do I do it?

Btw I don't know if that's easier than trying to get useful information out of me, but you could have a look at the project.
legacy.lclark.edu/~drake/Orego.html
The jar file is here:
webdisk.lclark.edu/drake/orego/
(the latest one)

If you just add the jar file to your project's build path then you won't get all those problems.

I added it under configure build path->libraries. Unfortunately, it doesn't help because as I said, it only adds folders full of class files to my project. The problem with the unexpected package names persists.

That's because you added the source codes. Remove them from the project and just leave the jar file together with your code.
