Question

I am hardcore Noobie in Java (and Eclipse) and this is my 1st Java code.

I am using VMware Java SDK and I am able to run the Java samples that come with the SDK. In one of the sample codes, I find this line:

import com.vmware.vcloud.sdk.Organization;

And the line in which this class is used is:

for (ReferenceType vdcLink : Organization 
                .getOrganizationByReference(vcloudClient, orgRef)
                .getVdcRefs())

Here I understand how Organization is imported and being used.

Now, I am writing my own code in Eclipse and not able to make “Organization” work. Eclipse is not writing the import (however, Eclipse is auto-writing the import statements for few other methods that I used from the same SDK)

Here is what I did:

I did make sure that I import all the .jar files (that come from the VMware SDK) into Eclipse at Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries.

I am also running CTRL+Shift+O to arrange the imports.

I have also set Windows > Preferences > "Save Actions" and checked "Organize Imports" so that it will arrange the imports every time I save the program.

However, I am just not able to get Organization work.

So from the sample code (which is working), I copied the below line to my code:

import com.vmware.vcloud.sdk.Organization;

But still it is not working. Needless to say, If I type Organization. and then do a CTRL + Space (to show autocomplete suggestions), it does not show any methods in the pop up.

I am thinking this is somehow related to the setting of the .jar file paths but I’m not sure.

Thanks.

UPDATE:
This is the error I get when I use “Organization”: This error pops up in a box when I move my mouse cursor to the Red dot on the far left of the line where I wrote Organization:

Multiple Markers At this line
    -Orgnization cannot be resolved to a variable

So,

I got it working as below. Not sure whether it makes any sense to you guys. But an explanation would be really helpful:

My sample code has below things:

In Eclipse, it is located in project->src->com->vmware->vcloud->sdk->samples folder
And it has this line at the top: package com.vmware.vcloud.sdk.samples;

So I move my code from project->src to project->src->com->vmware->vcloud->sdk->samples and added that package line to my code.

Now eclipse is writing the import statement for Organization as well as eclipse shows me available methods for Organization.

Now,

I don’t want to write my code inside the samples folder.
Is this even making any sense??

Thanks for the comments. I got this idea after reading your comments.
