"icommand.platform.nxt does not exist"

[port3f8]

I am having a terrible time trying to get any icommand code to compile. I have renamed out-of-date code from the book from things like:
import icommand.nxt.comm.NXTCommand to remove the period between nxt.comm, but even though eclipse recognizes the import names, it will not find them at compile time.

Any thoughts appreciated.

It will only work with iCommand 0.6, which is due to be released soon (there's a preview available in the sticky thread).

You should also download the latest code from the book website at www.variantpress.com.

Thank you for your input Brian. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue.


At compile I get all sorts of errors not finding icommand. Even though the code itself clearly is error free (no red lines - all commands recognised).

You have to add icommand.jar to your classpath, as per the instructions.

[port3f8]

I am assuming adding a a file to my classpath is done as follows:

project>properties>
select "java build path"
click on "libraries tab"
click on "add external jars"
then browse through directories to get to "icommand.jar", and select it and add.

I have all this set and eclipse recognizes the calls to icommand.jar within moonbuggy.java

It seems that "NXJ Compile", which executes the file nxjc.bat, does not find icommand.jar.

I just don't know why. I have spent almost 2 weeks trying to figure this out, and am now ready to give up, simply because I have tried everything I can think of and I have no more ideas left.

Any clues greatly appreciated.

I can tell right from error 1 that Java does not see icommand.jar:

MoonBuggy.java:1: package icommand.nxt does not exist
import icommand.nxt.*;

For some reason, it just doesn't see this package. Yet you say that you have icommand.jar in your classpath for the project. So something is wrong with the way you are telling it the location.

Maybe you could copy/paste what you have for the classpath, and also let me know where you installed iCommand. I dunno, maybe there is a typo or a space is screwing things up.
