Fixing "ExtLibUtil cannot be resolved" issue

I have been working on trying to use the openLogger tool which uses the OpenLog Database also available at openNTF, and I have hit a bit of a snag. My question is not about those databases explicitly, they are just a good example of what is going wrong!

My issue is that I wanted to rebuild the OpenLogger Demo/test database after making a few changes to the xsp.properties file, and I suddenly was presented the wonderful gift of 12 or more errors, all of which were that the com.ibm.xsp.extlib.util.ExtLibUtil class could not be resolved.

After a bit of googling, I found out that it sometimes helps to re-install Designer - done (three times)
or to re-install the ExtLibs (done a few times and then upgraded to the 900_201305* version)
nothing.

I have really tried everything I can think of, and everything that I could find via google, but I cannot figure out how to get this thing to resolve. I remember once upon a time having to copy specific jar files into the designer install directory, but I cannot remember the details, nor can I find anything about that, nor do I know if this is my issue. I also thought about a specific designer variable not being set that would tell designer where to find the jar files, but I would not know where to begin searching for that.

Any help getting this thing to resolve would be a HUGE! help. It could also be that I wish to use this awesome looking class in my own applications. Thanks!

To make sure that the jar files is found and able to be used, try these things:

  • Use the package explorer to make sure the jar is in the "Referenced Libraries" folder
  • Check the build path, and add the jar to the build path if necessary
  • Examine the XSP properties file and make sure it looks correct, and then change something and resave it
  • Use Project | Clean which sometimes fixes issues like this
