[merry barn]

you dont

stringutils doesn't exist in the standard library

where did you get that name from

[tropic storm]

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/apidocs/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.html

[merry barn]

you need to add that library first before using it

[tropic storm]

How

[merry barn]

what build system are you using

[tropic storm]

None

[merry barn]

better question, how does your project structure look

what file is where

[tropic storm]

It's just a new project in eclipse + a package in SRC + a class in that package

[merry barn]

so just a plain eclipse project

[tropic storm]

Yes

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-codec/commons-codec/1.15 (I downloaded the file from here, someone told me to do that)

[merry barn]

commons-codec is not what you want

you want commons-lang

[tropic storm]

btw If you think it'd be easier in VC, I can VC

[tropic storm]

I'll try finding that

[merry barn]

alright so

1. Download the commons-lang library https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/download_lang.cgi
   (1.5. Extract the zip)
2. Open the project properties
3. Click on "Java build path"
4. Click on "libraries"
5. Click on "add external jar"
6. Select all of the jars in the zip file you downloaded in step 1, then save

[tropic storm]

It's grayed out

[merry barn]

click on classpath first

i don't remember how exactly it works

[tropic storm]

Which one should I download?

Most top one?

[merry barn]

the first one

yes

wait no the second one for your system

the .zip

[tropic storm]

When I unzip it

it's a folder

not a JRE

[merry barn]

yes

[tropic storm]

[merry barn]

its supposed to be a folder

you dont want to download a jre, you want to download a library

[tropic storm]

Are you sure I am still supposed to click on ADD EXTERNAL JAR and not FOLDER

[merry barn]

let me try it myself

i havent used eclipse in ages

[tropic storm]

[merry barn]

especially not the newer versions

[tropic storm]

Oki

If you want I can help you install it

[merry barn]

i already installed it

[tropic storm]

I could install that build system thingy

[merry barn]

alright i found it out

it's a bit more work than initially thought but this would be the right way to do it

[tropic storm]

[merry barn]

nevermind

give me one second

[tropic storm]

Oki no need to hurry!

[merry barn]

you might need to delete your module-info.java, because that fucks everything up always

[tropic storm]

That video fast as heck

But I did it

@merry barn

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module myProject not found
