i would like to use the Guava's TypeToken, then i downloaded the Guava Release 14.0 from here. (i assume 14.0 is more stable than 15.0 rc.)
guava-14.0.1-sources.jar (Source)
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/google/guava/guava/14.0.1/guava-14.0.1-sources.jar
Unzip the downloaded guava-14.0.1-sources.jar into a folder.
Then i created a Java 1.7 project in Eclipse.
And linked the source in Eclipse by Java Build Path -> Source -> Link Source....
Note i am not using (and don't know how to use) any build systems like Maven.
First i got a problem of The import javax.annotation.Nullable cannot be resolved. But this is solved already. i followed the thread here to download jsr305-2.0.1.jar from this page. (i assume 2.0.1 is the most latest release.)
Secondly i got the rt.jar access restriction problem like this one. This is also solved by simply re-add the JRE System Library, like the answer there.
Now i got this problem that i cannot solve, and there are no solutions from the web.
In package com.google.common.util.concurrent class ServiceManager, there are a few compile errors.
import javax.inject.Inject; // The import javax.inject cannot be resolved
import javax.inject.Singleton; // The import javax.inject cannot be resolved
To my understanding, this is a similar problem with the "first problem". But the jsr305-2.0.1.jar includes javax.annotation.Nullable, but it does not include javax.inject.*. What i need is a Java library that includes javax.inject.*.
Could you please help? Thanks a lot!
The javax.inject package is provided in Java EE. If you're needing to use it in Java SE for some reason, you can explicitly include a jar with the API interfaces in it. Maven Central has a link to an implementation (javax.inject:javax.inject). Actually using Maven will make life simpler, but you can just download the jar file and include it manually.
