在Intellij中添加外部库

Question

I want to use this external library in my Intellij Maven project. I have tried to do it like official described and like often recommended here or here . But always I try to type ReedSolomon or com.backblaze.erasure.ReedSolomon , ReedSolomon is marked red and Cntrl+b says "Cannot find declaration to go to". Also Alt+Enter gives me no posibility to import the class. Other libraries are added and were recognized.

Isn't it possible to use this zip as external library? Do you have any ideas what I can try else?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to first unzip the library. It is not a .jar archive, but a package.

So you could create a new package in your project: com.backblaze.erasure . There you copy/paste all .java files from the unzipped directory javareedsolomon\\com\\backblaze\\erasure .

Hope this helps you :)
