the import java.util.regex cannot be resolved... what am I missing?

[jhardman]

So I'm trying to use regular expressions, but my compiler keeps failing at

import java.util.regex.*;

I know that the regex package is supposed to be there, every reference I have found put it right there. Intellisense recognizes java.util and suggests several classes within it (timer, random, etc), but nothing after that.

The truth is, I have more experience with visual studio, in which I know at this point I would be missing a reference. Is that the case here? If so, how would I add it?

I'm actually using eclipse as my IDE - required to make blackberry apps. Anyone know of a way to do this in Eclipse? Or if not, is there an easier way to get to regular expressions?

Jared,

I'm shooting in the dark here.

Are you certain that java.util.regex is in JavaME?

If not, you'll have to provide a copy. You get the source as part of the Java/EE package.

Luck!

Well, what Are the compiler errors?

OK, I know a bit more now. In order to run my app on a blackberry, I had to use a custom java library. It doesn't implement all of the standards. If I add the standard JRE6 to the build path then I get a whole bunch of duplicate definition errors, so they have a lot of overlaps, but there are several key classes I'm missing.

I'm still stuck, but I think I at least know why I'm stuck.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the environment (eclipse) to know how to add a single library reference (just java.util.regex.*) without getting the duplicate definitions. anybody know how to do that?

@Jared,

I'd say just copy the source for the java.util.regex classes and have done with. There are only five files that you have to worry about.

How to do it "right", though, is another issue. You'll have to modify your jar packaging instructions.

Luck.

Wish I knew how to add the .jar to my package. That might solve my issue.

You meant to say adding a jar file to project set up(workspace)?

right... I wish I knew what I was talking about, but I'm really in a bit too deep.
