Error when importing jar file in Eclipse (even after adding it to the build path)

Question

In the 'lib' directory of my Eclipse project, I have a jar file, 'foo.jar' which contains a class file 'Foo.class' in the (default package) of 'foo.jar' , which I have added to my build path in Eclipse (using Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries->Add JARs...). Now, 'foo.jar' appears under the 'Referenced Libraries' section in Eclipse's Package Explorer.

In the 'src' directory of my project I've got a file 'bar.java' whose first line is:

import foo.Foo;

In the body of 'bar.java', the code can use the contents of 'Foo.class' and all appears well, except I get exactly one error, on the import statement: "The import foo cannot be resolved", so the program won't run; it's the only error in 'bar.java'.

What's the proper way to take care of this?

(I have cleaned the project and refreshed it.)

Answer 1

import xxx.Foo; where xxx is the package name, not the name of the jar

If it's the default package, just try using Foo? You won't need the import in that case.
