Source not found- YahooFinance.class

I'm trying to implement code from https://github.com/sstrickx/yahoofinance-api on Eclipse in Java. When I run the program, I'm getting a several lines of errors that are being printed on the console. When I click on the errors, it takes me to a window named "YahooFinance.class" on Eclipse that says "Source not found." It asks me to change the attached source. I have added the source to C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.11/lib/src.zip on my computer, but I'm still getting the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: This is the code that I am trying to compile from source:

    Stock stock = YahooFinance.get("INTC");

    BigDecimal price = stock.getQuote().getPrice();
    BigDecimal change = stock.getQuote().getChangeInPercent();
    BigDecimal peg = stock.getStats().getPeg();
    BigDecimal dividend = stock.getDividend().getAnnualYieldPercent();

    stock.print();

My project is Maven-based and I have added this dependency to the pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.yahoofinance-api</groupId>
        <artifactId>YahooFinanceAPI</artifactId>
        <version>3.15.0</version>
    </dependency>

After refreshing my project's Maven dependencies, like Kevin Hooke said to do, I am no longer getting the "Source not found" error. Thank all of you for your quick responses and help!

Solution

  • The source project you're trying to use is a Maven based project and provides instructions on how to include it as a dependency.

    1. Create a new Maven project in Eclipse (or update your project to be Maven based, adding a pom.xml file, standard folder structures etc)

    2. Edit your pom.xml file and add a dependency to the yahoofinance-api project:

       <dependency>
     <groupId>com.yahoofinance-api</groupId>
     <artifactId>YahooFinanceAPI</artifactId>
     <version>x.y.z</version>
 </dependency>

    3. Replace x.y.z with the version that you need to use

    4. Refresh your project's Maven dependencies: right-click project, Maven -> Update Project
