JavaCPP problems compiling the example

Question

I just wanted to test JAVACPP and tried the first example from the webpage within my eclipse:

http://code.google.com/p/javacpp/ (LegacyClass and LegacyLibrary)

As soon as I type:

javac -cp libs\javacpp.jar:. src\LegacyLibrary.java

into the commandline I get the following error message:

src\LegacyLibrary.java:1: error: package com.googlecode.javacpp does not exist import com.googlecode.javacpp.*;

src\LegacyLibrary.java:2: error: package com.googlecode.javacpp.annotation does not exist import com.googlecode.javacpp.annotation.*;

src\LegacyLibrary.java:4: error: cannot find symbol @Platform(include="LegacyLibrary.h")

symbol: class Platform src\LegacyLibrary.java:5: error: cannot find symbol @Namespace("LegacyLibrary")

symbol: class Namespace src\LegacyLibrary.java:7: error: cannot find symbol public static class LegacyClass extends Pointer { symbol: class Pointer location: class LegacyLibrary src\LegacyLibrary.java:13: error: cannot find symbol public native @ByRef String get_property(); public native void set_property(String property); symbol: class ByRef location: class LegacyClass src\LegacyLibrary.java:16: error: cannot find symbol public native @ByRef String property(); public native void property(String property); symbol: class ByRef location: class LegacyClass src\LegacyLibrary.java:8: error: cannot find symbol static { Loader.load(); }

symbol: variable Loader location: class LegacyClass 8 errors

Why do I get it?

Is it possible to use JavaCPP not having *.cpp and *.h file, but just having a *.dll file? Or what exactly do I need for using this library?

You're using Windows. Replace the colon ':' by a semi-colon ';'.
