I have a jar file that I have included on my project's build path. It contains a class file called aaf.class. The class file holds the definition for the aaf class obviously. When I try to import aaf in my java file, it says

The import aaf cannot be resolved

Does anyone know why this would be happening as I am sure it is on the build path? I have never seen this before.

Answer 1

Put it in your classpath. That should solve things.

Answer 2

Assuming the fully qualified package name is aaf.class you can't import from the default package. Simple as that.
