NoSuchFieldError: RESOURCE_PREFIX when using Tess4J with Eclipse

I've tried using Tess4J in Eclipse but it results with the error in the title. I imported these jar files: tess4j, jai_imageio, and jna. The test code I have written is as per the example given on their examples page.

                File DMTfile = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\DMTcap.bmp");
                BufferedImage DMTcap = ImageIO.read(DMTfile);Tesseract instance = new Tesseract();

                String result = "";
                try {
                    result = instance.doOCR(DMTcap);
                } catch (TesseractException e2) {
                    e2.printStackTrace();
                }
                System.out.println(result);

The full error is as follows:

How can I fix this?

Solution

  • Platform.RESOURCE_PREFIX is a JNA constant. Make sure you use the appropriate version of JNA (4.1.0).
