JTwain not working

[Devasia Manuel]

Hi,

I am having trouble making JTwain work for my pc, i downloaded the JTwain trial version from he proper website, then in Netbeans, it wont compile if I try to import anything from the jtwain packages. I have added all Jtwain jars to the src folder and to the jre/lib/ext folder, however it is not added to my classpath...

should it work or should i need to add them to my classpath??

Thanks
----Dev

Go through the documentation for JTwain. Find the Java Documentation home page and click "java" and "javac" and look for the classpath options. It sounds as though using the compiler's classpath options is worth trying, yes.
If it doesn't work, come back here.

You probably need to look at the Netbeans documentation to see how a jar file is added to the classpath of a project. Moving to our IDE forum...

Im pretty sure that its not NetBean's problem because I tried the same thing with JCreator and a Notepad and it still didn't allow me...

So, what is your classpath, and is the JTwain jar in it?

[Devasia Manuel]

my classpath is "." and the JTwain.jar file is in my main directory

[Campbell Ritchie]

The "." classpath means the current directory only; you will have to go through NetBeans and add JTwain to your classpath. Can't remember how to do it, I am afraid.

Also make sure to addJTwain to the .jar file when you distribute your product.
