I'm using Eclipse and I have two different projects: A and B.
In project A, I have a class classA
where I need to call a method methodB()
from a class classB
contained in the project B, how can I do that?
I've tried adding the project B to project A build path, but still doesn't work.
Thanks.
You need to add another project in "Project" tab, or add class folder of the project in "Libraries" tab ie you may try to add project B to the Run configuration used by project A. Go to the menu Run -> Run configurations
, ther you can add the project B in the tab 'classpath' of your run configuration.
Here's an example that you may find helpful:
Project_1
has the following class:
ClassProjectOne.java
which consists of:
public class ClassProjectOne {
private int m_Age;
private final int AGE_INPUT = 15;
public ClassProjectOne() {
setAge(AGE_INPUT);
}
public int getAge() {
return m_Age;
}
private void setAge(int age) {
m_Age = age;
}
}
Project_2
has the following class:
ClassProjectTwo.java
which consists of:
public class ClassProjectTwo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ClassProjectOne t = new ClassProjectOne();
System.out.println(t.getAge());
}
}
In order for this to work, you must right click Project_2
and click on Properties
. Then click on Java Build Path
-> Add...
-> Select Project_1
-> OK
. This sets a Java Build Path.
If your class is static there is no need to initialize a new instance of it.
Hope this helps.
I've just done what you're trying to do. I called my first project 'project1'. In this projects i have a package called 'package1' which in turn contains a class called 'Class1' containing a (public) static method called 'staticMethod'. I called my second project 'project2' with a class 'Class2' in 'package2'. I added project1 to the build path of project2 and then inserted the statement import package1.Class1
at the beginning of the class Class2.
Put the Project B on the Build path, then do a Clean project from Project Menu option and then use it.
Click in "A" --> Properties --> Build Path --> Projects ---> Add the Project ---> Ok
