Hello I am on linux and trying to compile some code which imports packages which are available in a jar file.
Using the jar tool I have checked the the appropriate class files are actually in the jar and that the folder structure
corresponds correctly to the the structure implied by the import statement.
I have placed the jar file in /home/me/.jars and added /home/me/.jars/externalTool.jar to the class path in my .bashrc.
(Yes, I did rememeber to still have "." included in the class path)
The javac compiler can still not find the packages imported in the
java file. I have tried compiling usisng the -cp option specifying
the path to jar before the .java file, but still no luck.
Feel like I am overlooking something simple.
