mounting a jar archive

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
I've developed two classes (package1.class1 and
package1.subpackage.class2), compiled and put into a jar from the
command line (jar cvf package1.jar package1/). Now, using netbeans, I
can mount the jar seeing the code completion working fine, but when I
try to compile I get an error like: class class2 is public and should be
declared in a file named class2.
Classes are ok (public and declared in rightly named files), so I cannot
guess what is wrong.
Any idea?

I've had this problem and I'm not sure exactly what caused it, but I think
it's related to having the source files and the jar file mounted at the same
time.

if you want to treat your jar file as an external component, unmount the
source directory; if you want the source to be part of your project, unmount
the JAR file.

maybe there is a way to do both (or maybe this is not exactly the problem)
but that's what worked for me.

I've tried to exclude the source when mounting the jar, but the problem
remains!
Any other idea?

hmm, make sure the jar file contains only the class files and not the
source.

Or you could fiddle around with the filesystem properties (use for compile,
use for debug etc) but I don't think that was what made any difference for
me.
