'Java Package Does Not Exist Error

So there's a folder /usr/share/stuff in the root directory

in stuff there are a bunch of java files with package org.name definitions at the top

I am running javac test.java where test.java is in a subdomain

I added /usr/share/stuff to my class path.

and at the top of test.java I add import org.name

But I get a package does not exist error...why?

javaimportpackage

Just reimport didn't work. Following worked for me.

File -> Invalidate Caches /Restart

Then

Build -> Rebuild Project

That will reimport maven project.

I was having this problem, while trying to use a theme packaged as .jar in my app, it was working while debugging the app, but it didn't when building/exporting the app.

I solved it by unzipping the jar, and manually add its contents to my build folder, resulting in this:

project/
   ?
   ??? build 
   ?   ??? classes
   ?       ??? pt
   ?       ?   ??? myAppName ... 
   ?       ??? com
   ?           ??? themeName ...
   ??? src
   ??? lib

I don't have the error anymore and my app loads with the intended theme.

You need to have org/name dirs at /usr/share/stuff and place your org.name package sources at this dir.

I had the exact same problem when manually compiling through the command line, my solution was I didn't include the -sourcepath directory so that way all the subdirectory java files would be compiled too!

Right click your maven project in bottom of the drop down list Maven >> reimport

it works for me for the missing dependancyies

If you are facing this issue while using Kotlin and have 

kotlin.incremental=true
kapt.incremental.apt=true

in the gradle.properties, then you need to remove this temporarily to fix the build.

After the successful build, you can again add these properties to speed up the build time while using Kotlin.

Solution 7:[7]

You should add the following lines in your gradle build file (build.gradle)

dependencies { 
     compile files('/usr/share/stuff')
     ..
}

If you have 2020 version, that you've most likely got a bug, like the one I got. Tried multiple things, but what helped me is a very simple thing. Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven. Put a checkmark for Override of Local Repository, but leave the default value. Apply, OK. You can get an error, that's ok. Just press "Reload all Maven Projects" button (two rounded arrows, looks like regular Refresh button) in Maven tab on the right of the screen. Maybe clean and install. Should work after that.

I came to this question because a bringing a file from one folder to another caused this error for me. The command that fixed it is below. I had the same package in multiple directories, and it was only looking at one of the directories.

So, if it's a Maven project, try mvn clean install --update-snapshots
