Import Assistant not working.

Question

Hi. I'm using JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 and I can not get the Import Assistance feature to work. Suppose I type in the following:
public class CC
URL u;
The text "URL" is indeed underlined, showing me that I have a problem but no Import Assitance drop-down list is ever given. Even if I place my cursor on URL and hit Alt+Enter, nothing happens.
I have checked my Preference and the check boxes in Code Editor>Java>Imports are checked.
Any thoughts on what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Leonard Armstrong

Answer 1

I don't think that's going to help.
Try and see.
When the java compiler looks for a class
pkg1.Subclass1 it looks for pkg1\Subclass1.java
relative to the current directory and
pkg1\Subclass1.class relative to each directory on
the classpath.
When the javac compiler (at least version 1.4) looks for a dependent class, it looks in the Classpath directories. It only looks relative to the current directory if the current directory is in the Classpath. When it looks for a dependent class, it looks for both .java and .class files. If it only finds a .java file or the .java file is newer than a .class file, it will try to compile the file.
You need to compile from the directory above
pkg1, in this case (unfortunately) d:\
This makes it sound like it is a requirement to compile from the directory. It isn't required.
