RXTX Import Help

[Edward_Francis]

Hi all,

I am having major problems trying to add the RXTX package to eclipse so I can read/write to a microcontroller. I’ve followed many different installation guides online but no success. The import gnu.util.*; never imports. I’ve already installed the files to the correct places as the guides say:

RXTXSerial.dll -> C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin
RXTXcomm.jar -> jre1.6.0_0_04 and jre1.6.0_05 choose jre1.6.0_05


Please help I am using Eclipse and jdk1.6.0_23

Many Thanks,

Edward Francis

Have you added the jar to your Eclipse projects classpath?

[Edward_Francis]

Err..... How do I do add the classpath in eclipse?

I tried to edit the java path in the system enviromental variables but this ruined my eclipse and I had to restore.

Sorry I am relatively new to java/eclipse, this is the first time i've imported an package

Regards,

Ed

Have you tried reading the Eclipse help file?

Right click on your project in the package window, select "Build Path", select "Configure Build Path". When the panel appears add your Jar file.

Thank you keang for your help I tried this but it still didn't work.

However it did led me to discover that I stupidly put the files in Program Files/ Java.....

instead of Program Files(x86)/java.....

simple mistakes cause major problems eh!

Thanks again,

Ed
