Since today, I cannot access netscape.javascript.* classes within Eclipse

Question

Since today, my Eclipse fails to load JSObject. This code was previously working OK. Any ideas how to fix it? I do have simple netscape.jar in the classpath.

Here is the code that now fails to work:

import netscape.javascript.*;

  ...

    try {
        doc = (JSObject) JSObject.getWindow(app); //.getMember("document");
    } catch(JSException e) {
        doc = null;
        Debug.error("DBscorm().<init>: Exception " + e);
        throw(e);
    } catch(Exception e){
        doc = null;
        Debug.error("DBscorm().<init>: Exception " + e);
        throw(e);
    }

In every JDK subfolder is a file called plugin.jar

Get this file and add it to your Eclipse classpath. This will make it work - guaranteed.

does Appletviewer support it? – Tom Apr 16 '09 at 11:45

Not every JDK has plugin.jar. For older ones you have to use jaws.jar (e.g. jdk1.2.2\jre\lib\jaws.jar ) – JohnKlehm Dec 14 '11 at 00:19

A couple of possibilities:

Do you have a missing import statement? Try organising imports with CTRL+SHIFT+O
Is the netscape.jar still configured as a library for the project? (Project Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries tab, then click on "Add JARs..." if necessary)
