NoSuchMethodError, even though method is clearly there
Hi all,
I'm writing a program using Eclipse. The program uses a third-party jar, which I have added to the project's build path.
In Eclipse, if you write out an object's name and then hit the period (.), you get a list of all the methods. Using this, I scroll down to the method "getName()", which takes no arguments.
To be sure, I also open the jar in Eclipse, open the Java class that the object belongs to, and note that the method "getName()" exists (even though I can't see the source itself, naturally).
Eclipse accepts the line with no errors.
However, when I run the program from Eclipse, I get the error
Exception in thread"Thread-2" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
edu.colorado.phet.common.application.PhetApplication.getName()Ljava/lang/String;
at org.concord.otrunkphet.sound.OTPhetSoundModelView$startWaveInterferenceApplication.run(OTPhetSoundModelView.java:72)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613)
How can I get a NoSuchMethodError when both Eclipse and I see the method in the jar?
Any help much appreciated,
Sam
