Question

I know this is a common question asked but I’ve been searching and I’ve included the class into eclipse through the buildpath. I start to write the import statement and it autocompletes options for me so I know it’s finding the class.

My problem is how come it’s giving this error when I’m reading the docs and it says the constructor method is MimeUtil2() ?

package com.jab.app;

import java.io.File;
import eu.medsea.mimeutil.*;

public class CheckFileType {

private void GetMimeType(File filename){

        MimeUtil2 test = new MimeUtil2();  //Produces the error saying java type cannot be resolved

}

I ended up finding out that I was using the test-source.jar not the main jar file itself. The sourceforge page made the default as the source file instead of the main jar file.
It was buried inside of the files page.
