very lame question

[r_testing]

Hello everybody.

This forum is for newbies so...
I don't know even how to ask my question.

How to add htmlparser jars to my Java application to make it work?

Do I have to add import declarations?

Can I add jar to my Eclipse so that Eclipse would help me with code completion?

thanks in advance
best regards R

Yes, you will need to add htmlparser.jar to the list of jars in eclipse. Yes, you will need to at least import org.htmlparser.<something>.

I would suggest looking at the example applications in the org/htmlparser/parserapplication directory in the src.zip file that comes with the download.

I added all jars that cames with the zip file to Eclipse

and I added import:
import org.htmlparser.parserapplications.LinkExtractor;

but when I create object:
LinkExtractor le = new LinkExtractor();

Eclipse shows me (code completion) that le object has only basic methods inherited from main Object class.

I guess that this le has its own methods ;-)
How can I make them accessible for me in Eclipse?

Sorry I know it's a question about Eclipse rather then HTMLParser but if You could answer I appreciate it

(I'm using Linux)

On linux if you are in the root directory of your own java files, the command line compile is something like:

   javac -classpath .:htmlp_dir/lib/htmlparser.jar MyClass.java

where htmlp_dir is the directory that you unzipped the distribution to  plus /htmlparser1_5 (assuming you have a recent version).
