(Encryption Package) error: cannot find symbol symbol: class BaseNCode

[clusardi2k]

When I include the below package (link 1) in a project, I get the following error message:

C:\...\src\org\apache\commons\codec\binary\Base64.java:50: error: cannot find symbol
public class Base64 extends BaseNCodec {
symbol: class BaseNCode

The code in (1) came from (2). I'd like to use both of these.

What am I doing wrong here! What should I be doing. (Do I need a dot jar for this.)

How do I encrypt strings. Also, do you have a simple example project.

Is there a better alternative to this package for encryption. What should I be considering

Many Thanks,

You apparently brought in part, not all, of the source code for the library you want to
use. This is not conventional or optimal.

Instead, either download or build the JAR, ensuring thus that it contains *all* the
project (Commons Codec in this case). Since Apache Commons is, well, common,
unless you're contributing to the project download the JAR rather than build it.

See the Java documentation for how to include JARs in the classpath with the
"-classpath" ("-cp" for short) argument to the Java tools.

How do I encrypt strings. Also, do you have a simple example project.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Java+how+to+encrypt+strings

Note: Interrogative sentences should end in a question mark ("?").

Is there a better alternative to this package for encryption. What should I be considering

What does "better" mean to you?

Apache Commons Codec is not an encryption library, so presumably any
encryption library would be better.

As for your other errors, the messages seem clear enough.

Don't use raw types.

Use generics correctly.

Where can I get either the pre-built jar or *all* of the project!

Thank you,

When I add the java package and your dot jar (from

I am not nor have ever been affiliated with the Apache Project, and I've made
no contributions to Commons Codec.

http://commons.apache.org/codec/download_codec.cgi) to a project (as a library)
and try to build it, I get error messages such as the below hard (if not impossible)

Your use of the term "package" is inconsistent with Java usage.

What exactly do you mean?

Compiling 46 source files to C:\...\build\classes

C:\...\src\org\apache\commons\codec\binary\Base64.java:324: error: cannot find symbol

Why are you compiling the Commons Codec project?
This is what I told you *not* to do!

Stop compiling third-party source.
