Question

I am using Eclipse Ganymede.

I have a project open and call a static method of a class in another project, which the current one references.

I close the current project, open the referenced library’s project, change the method return type, and rebuild its jar. (It’s set to build automatically, but I tried explicitly rebuilding all anyway.)

When I go back to the original project, it still thinks that the static method returns the old type. What am I doing wrong?

P.S., “refresh” on the context menu doesn’t fix it either.

Answer 1

I think the jar file was out of date. I ended up deleting the old one, selecting the project to be referenced, and clicking “Export”. At that point, I was able to indicate that all classes and resources in the project should be exported to a jar in the folder I specified.
