Re: [Htmlunit-user] SocksSocketFactory extends final PlainSocketFactory

[David T. <da...@de...>]

Curiouser and curiouser!

If you step back a second and consider what “final” means, it should be a little clearer.  A final class cannot be subclassed.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_%28Java%29

This again tells me that somehow your libraries in your class path are set up wrongly.  I’m afraid I will have to defer to wiser heads on this one. 

Are you following the suggestion on the web site?  
http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/gettingLatestCode.html

“Compiling the code

The preferred way to build HtmlUnit is with maven 3.

mvn compile
This will do an incremental compile of all the code.

mvn clean compile
This will do a clean compile of all the code."
