I've come back to project after a long diversion, and upgraded tooling. This means Netbeans 12.5, Java 17, Gradle 7.3… at least allegedly. For some reason, despite setting the Gradle version to 7.3, it appears to build with 7.0.
Per the image below, setting the Gradle version to 7.3 doesn't seem to be picked up. (That is immediately after hitting Apply.) It still tries to build with 7.0. And – for some indeterminate reason – it can't.
Restarts don't help; I can't get the configuration to be picked up. (Searches for reference to similar issues provide 5-year-old answers that are no longer relevant.) I've even tried deleting the 7.0 distribution; to no avail, it comes right back.
Can anyone provide guidance on getting this to work properly?
Netbeans 12.6 fully supports Java 17 and Gradle 7.3. Gonfiguring the Gradle wrapper for 7.3 gets picked up correctly, eliminating all errors I was experiencing.
Don't bother with gradle in Netbeans. It's a horrible, buggy disaster and 12.6 just seems to want to up the ante.
Netbeans does NOT support gradle in a meaningful way for normal users.
You now get complex multi-projects whether you want them or not.
When creating a Java Application you don't get a choice at what the Main class is called. It will be App with app.java and you will like it.
If you try to rename app.java to something useful. It will not change "Class App" to "Class Useful" it will instead change it to "ClassUsefulp". It will not rename the test file and you will be left with several syntax errors that you can have fun cleaning up.
No, you cannot rename the subproject itself. That will continue to be the extremely descriptive and useful "app" subproject. The IDE will not provide you a way to rename that.
There is no meaningful, intuitive way to create/delete/modify subprojects.
If your gradle version is somehow out of sync there is still no useful way to reset/recreate the gradle wrapper other than creating a whole new project and moving your source code over to the new project.
Oh, so you gave in and accepted the multi-project structure. You noticed that if you go through the multi-project creator GUI then you can create multiple subprojects. Yeah, good luck with that. They won't have gradle build.scripts or wrappers. You won't be able to build your awesome creation.
Want to use command line arguments? Forget it. There is no "run" element in the project properties. You cannot create different run configurations.
Want dependencies? Or any other project configuration? It's all manual editing of gradle files. There's no GUI to assist non-gradle-wizards.
Yeah. you can probably work around a lot of this by dropping to a command line shell and editing the gradle scripts/files manually and running gradle commands manually. A) you're going to need to be a gradle wizard, and B) why are you using an IDE in the first place? you've got gradle, you've got vi available. Bathe in the nostalgia because you'll have to anyways.
Do you like the idea of gradle? Do you use Netbeans? Stick with Ant, or Maven if you need external dependencies; you'll thank me later.
I have decided to try out Vaadin Touchkit for mobile application development, and am trying to get it installed and working on an example app. I have Windows 7 Pro, eclipse Luna, and maven. I'm happy to use something besides Maven, anything to make it work more easily.
The instructions say I can create a Vaadin project and then modify it to be a Vaadin Touchkit project. So I create a Vaadin project, using the Vaadin eclipse plug-in 3.0.0.
Step 1 in a list "After creating the project", says "Install the TouchKit library in the project by including it in the ivy.xml, as described in Installing as Ivy Dependency, and compile the widget set.
I think it odd that we're switching over to ivy from Maven, but ok. I go to the link indicated by the italics above, and find:
Include the following declaration inside the `dependencies` section in the `ivy.xml`.
But there is no ivy.xml file. I searched the whole directory tree. I know even less about ivy than I do Maven, so I dig around a little and find that ivy.xml is supposed to be in the WEB-INF/lib directory. But there is no such directory.
I suppose I could create an ivy.xml that contained nothing but the lines given in the instructions, but feel like trial-and-error in this kind of situation is not likely to be fruitful. Is there something else I was supposed to do to get ivy.xml in my eclipse Vaadin project? Is there some other way to get the TouchKit jar(s) on the classpath? Aren't I supposed to have a WEB-INF generated somewhere?
I presume others have gotten the TouchKit example to work in eclipse somehow -- if they can point me to a different way that does work, that'd be fine, I don't have to fix this one...
Hm, lacking of Ivy.xml is very very old bug known by vaadin team. No one knows why sometimes it wont create it.(Maybe after some n-times attempts of recreating it may fix this).
Unluckily, you have to deal with maven
Over the last couple of months I have restructured (renamed) my Maven modules of my project. I discovered some unexpected behavior with respect to how Jenkins treats outdated Maven modules (i.e., they no longer exist in pom.xml files) produced by the build job.
This is depicted in the following screenshot:
As can be seen several modules are skipped (= grey bubble). Sadly, however from the UI, I have no chance to delete them by any means. Deleting the workspace does not help either. Actually, the problem exists in other build jobs as well in case a renaming of one ore more modules was conducted in the pom structures.
The next screenshot shows a German version of the menu options.
Despite I used the latest Jenkins version (2.23), there seems to be no possibility to clean up the ui / modules from this project.
Does anybody have an idea how I can achieve removing this obsolete artifacts without a fresh setup of the whole project or even the complete build server installation.
EDIT-1:
There is an offical issue for that at the Jenkins Project, which seems to be unresolved up to day.
EDIT-2:
I've tried the work arround mentioned in the issue using http://hudson-installation/job/the-project/deleteAllDisabledModules in order to obtain the delete view. However, this page does not exist.
I think this answer from Amedee Van Gasse provides at least a workaround to your problem.
He suggests removing the modules marked as "(übersprungen)" by hand using a Groovy script. His solution also implies why the use of http://hudson-installation/job/the-project/doDeleteAllDisabledModules won't work: The property disabled isn't properly set for the respective modules.
Goto:
http://jenkins-ci/job/<projectname>/<package>$<modulename>/
and click delete.
look at:
http://jenkins-ci/job/<projectname>/modules
It looks like you are in the menu of a build. You first have to go back to the project "Zurück zum Projekt". Afterward you can delete the project (Assuming you have the necessary permissions).
Some things you could try as a last resort:
Delete the job, and then recreate it.
Reinstall Jenkins.
Create a new FreeStyle job and use the same command as you expect developers to use:
mvn clean install
This behaviour is an outstanding bug in the Jenkins Maven Plugin
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-4561
For me it raises a deeper question of why would you ever want to use a plugin for this functionality. It is a DevOps principle to ensure that the developers use and understand the same techniques as are used to build for release.
So I have a maven module (module-A) in IntelliJ. I recently moved some classes from it into another new maven module (module-B) and added a dependency to it. Once I had done this I also modified the signature of a method of one of the moved classes (now in module-B).
I re-imported the poms so that IntelliJ would pick up the dependency changes and ensured all Java imports for the affected files were correct again. Now when I attempt to run my webapp (which depends on the two modules) I get a compile error in a class in module-A calling the modified method of the class in module-B.
The error message is basically saying that that method doesn't exist but believes the old method still exists! I click on the 'make' error and it takes me to the line in a class in module-A calling the modified method...the weird thing is, IntelliJ knows it is fine in the file. i.e. The method is not underlined in red like a compile error would normally be, but the class file name is :(
I compiled it from the command line using 'mvn install' (having also installed module-B) and it is all successful. I have deleted the classes directory in the target of both module-A and module-B and also invalidated IntelliJ's caches and restarted...still happening...any ideas?
I found out that this might help:
File -> Invalidate Caches
Maven Projects -> Reimport should help.
I spent a few hours on this same issue. All of the cleans in the world didn't help.
I deleted my out and target directory in my project and recompiled - that cleared it.
Edit: There is also a magic feature under the file menu: "Invalidate Caches / Restart" This fixes a bunch of "intellij is confused" problems.
Change "Java Compiler" setting in IDEA (User compiler javac in-process) to fix the problem.
Try to mvn clean your projects and mvn install your project B.
The maven integration with intelliJ is kind of buggy when you use the make command directly provided by Intellij. You should directly use the mvn commands, or start them from the maven panel.
I ran across a very similar problem that was driving me insane.
My code would compile fine with the ant task I normally run, but it would not build in IntelliJ, complaining about "Cannot Find Symbol blah blah"
Turns out, you can add "Excluded" files for the compiler. My file somehow got added to that list.
This list is located in File > Settings > Compiler > Excludes (IntelliJ 13)
Following steps should fix this problem :
delete .IntelliJIdea12 / .IdeaIC12 older under c:/user/.../
Invalidate Intelli's cache: File > Invalidate Caches.
This re-indexes your workspace on start-up and also clears your local history. Before you do this, commit or back up all your uncommitted changes.
Once your workspace is back after indexing, do a maven clean install.
when the build is successful, click on Maven Re-imports
This worked for me, I think it should work for others too with a similar problem.
So just stated it up this morning and it's all working!
Last night what I did do was open a new project (intelliJ project) from module-A's and module-B's parent pom and successfully got it to build, possibly doing that and then opening my original project again fixed it somehow...very annoying though
The behavior I see is similar to the one described by the original author.
Error markers show up on the right side of the editor in Intellij 14 and less so in 13.
This happens also if using Scala instead of Java and using SBT instead of Maven.
Also noticed this occurs after the second project is loaded. The first is always fine.
(After much trial and error) Figured it might be caused by Intellij's internal caches becoming somehow corrupt. "Invalidate caches" worked sometime and sometimes did not.
I work with a number of projects using Play! Framework and they use different versions of Scala and lots of dependencies.
I hypothesized the caches become corrupt because the internal key Intellij uses is not good enough to handle situations when the same class, loaded multiple times in different jars, has different signatures, and this results in the editor errors while external builds work fine.
Then the "Changing Ivy Cache Location for sbt projects in IntelliJ IDEA?" post gave the idea to segregate the ivy cache SBT and Intellij use in the hope that the ivy path is part of the internal cache key.
Paul Phillips of TypeSafe provide the "SBT extras" tooling and here I found a way to instruct SBT to use a project based ivy home, cache and SBT boot:
https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/paulp/sbt-extras/master/sbt
declare -r noshare_opts="-Dsbt.global.base=project/.sbtboot -Dsbt.boot.directory=project/.boot -Dsbt.ivy.home=project/.ivy"
How to configure Intellij
: see http://content.screencast.com/users/SemanticBeeng/folders/Snagit/media/ec8ec491-6d0c-4691-9598-916a63ba65ef/12.02.2014-08.59.png
Then did the same for the external SBT build to work in sync
: see http://content.screencast.com/users/SemanticBeeng/folders/Snagit/media/dcb287c4-200f-47f3-a937-42865675a22b/12.02.2014-09.01.png
Finally got rid of the user home based .ivy2 and all the contents.
To be sure Intellij does not use this folder I made it readonly.
This was a mistake. Intellij seems to silently fail resolve dependencies if you do this.
This solved the errors and believe they will not come back. :-)
If Intellij guys hear this: please test your releases (Scala, SBT, editor) with all the Play Framework templates from TypeSafe. The problem becomes apparent quickly this way.
I just had a similar issue that was driving me insane. I had done all the other things mentioned in the answers above because I have used Intellij forever, but none worked. In the end I found out that in the maven projects portion of Intellij, one of my modules had been marked "ignore" a simple unignore command from the context menu did the trick.
In my case, I had manually marked a directory as "Test Sources Root" but IDEA marked it on a parent Maven project. Unmarking it in File->Project structure...->Modules fixed the problem.
This could happen if you are using different version of java while building outside IntelljJ. My IntelliJ had java10 and I was using java8 while building at terminal. Changing java version to IntelliJ fixed this issue for me.
I had a very similar behavior. Running (Scala-)tests would always fail due to errors in unrelated java classes during the 'make' step.
It turned out, I had included a 'global' SDK library that collided with one of the dependencies from the project. A proper helpful error message only showed up after I deleted the 'make' step from the test.
I then deleted the duplicate library, re-added the make step to the test and everything is now working fine.
I ran into this problem today after upgrading from 12 to 13.
Later I fixed issue as I used the same name for Project and Module and looks Intellij allows this but cannot handle it correctly.
No idea why setting will impact the compilation, although there is no error in java editor. Should be a bug in version 13.
I was facing a similar issue after upgrading from IntelliJ 12 to 13. After multiple uninstalls and re-installs (of multiple intelliJ versions), numerous cleans and .m2 repository clearing, I finally figured out what my issue was.
In my intelliJ settings, the repositories mentioned in my main POM file could not be connected to. this was in turn due and alternate repository that was mentioned as a part of my pom file.
Once the POM was made to point to the correct repository, all my classes had their compilation issues resolved.
To check if your repositories are being connected to, go to File -> Settings -> Maven -> Repositories
Here, your indexed maven repositories should be connected to successfully. If they are not, then intelliJ will not be able to resolve most 3rd party and module dependencies.
I'm embarrassed to say, but we also had this problem, but it was due to a mistake in our package name.
When creating the packages for a new project I accidentally created a package called "org.package".
My project then had a directory structure like:
/src/main/java/org.package/
Which caused all sorts of havoc with IntilliJ.
Once the correct folder structure was created on the file system, IntelliJ worked great.
/src/main/java/org/package/
Note the difference in /org.package/ vs /org/package/
The fix was i made it javac instead of Ajc and i put 1.8 of course according to your jdk version.
for some reason when i invalidate and restart intellij it was set to be the default !
my version is
This happened to me...what fixed it was realising there was an extra main.iml file in the source directory. Deleting that instantly made the compile errors go away.
None of the above answers worked for me.
In my case, I had to finally create an explicit Maven Run Configuration for the module (with Command Line as "clean install") and then run it.
It is in Run > Edit Configurations
close the project
go-to the project folder and delete idea project file and .iws file
run mvn idea:idea
restart the project.
seems idea keeping the old project dependencies without cleaning even though we run file -> invalidate caches
Setting the proper Java SDK solves the issue
Right click on the project and select "Open Module Settings"
Check if you have the right Java SDK under platform settings
Check the SDK under Modules
Rebuild the project from "Build" menu
Delete the installation directory.
Remove the following directories:
~/.config/JetBrains/
~/.cache/JetBrains/
~/.local/share/JetBrains/
This will remove each and every configuration plus installation of jetbrains tools, be it IDEA, goland,etc.
Now install everything from scratch.
That's the only way it worked for me
I have setup a dynamic web project in eclipse with JSF in which I trust on code from another project (framework). Therefore, I added the framework project to the build path of the website project.
So far so good, Eclipse recognises every class and the project builds without errors.
Problem is though that when I do "run on server" to test it on tomcat 6.0.24, the application fails. I get ClassNotFoundException on every class from the framework project.
Is this a bug or is some specific configuration necessary for this?
I was googling and ended up here for a similar problem. I wanted to make a note for others about the current situation on Eclipse Indigo, as the terminology has changed a bit by the looks of things.
On your project properties, do a filter/search for "deployment assembly".
It is then straightforward to add a project dependency. Job Done.
Thanks to Alexander's edited answer which led me to this.
Did you check Warnings in Problems view?
Do you see Classpath entry /your/framework.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result warning?
If you do.
Right-Click the warning and choose Quick Fix.
Choose "Mark the associated entry as publish/export dependency." from Select a Fix box.
Click Finish.
EDIT
Now, I think I understand where disconnect is. I think now I remember the joy of figuring this out for the first time.
In your website project ( I will speculate here , but I guess you've created it as a Dynamic Web Project ):
Open project properties
Select Java EE Module Dependencies panel
Check your framework project in JAR/Module column. Beware, that for reasons not known to me, the list is not sorted ( and is not sortable ) in any particular order, so you may need to search for your project reference there.
The results of this operation will be written to /website-project/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component file. Put this file into your source control.
