Java - Eclipse - The declared package “edu.uci.ics.crawler4j.examples.basic” does not match the expected package “”

Question

I am trying to set up the example code for Crawler4j , but Eclipse is throwing an error that I don't understand. The error is:

The declared package "edu.uci.ics.crawler4j.examples.basic" does not match the expected package ""

The path "edu.uci.ics.crawler4j.examples.basic" is there and correct.

Answer 1

You need to run the Java compiler from the base directory, so that it sees the edu/... folder.
If you run it from the directory with the actual .java file, it won't see any folders, so it will expect the default package.
