Java app suddenly not compiling with jdev

I have been working on an inherited code base that is a Java web app and just today it stopped compiling. I am getting errors that it can't开发者_StackOverflow社区 find some classes that are declared in the code.

My code base is set up like this: I've got the main package and then, for some reason, both inside it and at the same level of it, I've got a .jar that holds a supplemental package, com.oreilly.servlet to be exact. I have some files in my main code base that import com.oreilly.servlet.MultipartRequest and utill today they had no problem finding them.

I have since wiped my local version and checked out the last revision which I know compiled last timed I made any changes to the java files, leading me to believe my issue is jdeveloper.

The errors I am getting are that package com.oreilly.servlet doesn't exist and subsequently that it cannot find class MultipartRequest.

I have also broken out the jar file (which by the way is included int he Libraries and Classpath section of jdev) into a package structure to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like an opportunity to update and refactor to me. I stumbled across the com.oreilly package years ago, haven't seen it since. I say remove it from the code and upgrade to the more standard javax.servlet classes (usually found in a servlet-api.jar or something similarly named bundled with your web app server).
