About Guide: spotlight doesn't work in rectangle?

I will setup a git-hub location later today and come back with the link.

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

It seems I met the same block road as Steffen (steffen-be).
I do not have the option "Java project from existing sources" (only "java project" and "java project from existing ant buildfile").
How should i go with that?

Ok, then we are talking about Eclipse:
- new Java project
- give it a name and click next
- in the source tab below you find "Link additional sources"
- in the dialog coming up you can select a source folder in the file system and give it a name for your Eclipse project view

Hmm, doesn't seem to work. Maybe i'll try out with netbeans.

what is the problem?

just checked again, this works:
- make an empty java project
- delete the existing src folder from the project view
- go to project properties -> java build path
- again the tab source
- button: Link source
- select the src folder in the guide sources and finish
- click ok in the source tab

Hi Raiman, Sorry for the late reply, I had been away for another project.

I tried the steps but there's a lot of errors in eclispe.

eg.

Access restriction: The type RSACipher is not accessible due to restriction on required library
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\ext\sunjce_provider.jar SikuliGuideArea.java
/guide/src/org/sikuli/guide line 19 Java Problem

could be due to JRE?

the mentioned line 19 in SikuliGuideArea.java is
import com.sun.crypto.provider.RSACipher;

on a first glance, I cannot see, what it is used for or used at all.
So comment it out or find the reason in your installation for the complaint.

I suspect i may have missed a step. I need to add the sikuli script.jar into my project library. Am i right

Yes, sikuli-script.jar is always needed, since it contains the basic API.
But this should have nothing to do with the above import problem.

Using Java 7?

I using JRE System Library [JavaSE - 1.6]

I commented the "import com.sun.crypto.provider.RSACipher;" and also added the following jar files to library and clean the build.

Junit-4.8.2.jar
sikuli-script.jar
simple-xml-2.6.1.jar

Errors managed to drop from 1100 to 33 (sigh of relief)

Errors left:

CycleStrategy cannot be resolved to a type
Persister cannot be resolved to a type
Serializer cannot be resolved to a type
Strategy cannot be resolved to a type
Test cannot be resolved to a type
The method setSimilarity(float) is undefined for the type Pattern
The import com.sun.medialib cannot be resolved

--- the error
The method setSimilarity(float) is undefined for the type Pattern

can be fixed:
by changing setSimilarity to similar

--- The import com.sun.medialib cannot be resolved
try to comment it out

--- the other errors
I cannot see in my sources

down to 30 errors. All related to:

CycleStrategy cannot be resolved to a type
Persister cannot be resolved to a type
Serializer cannot be resolved to a type
Strategy cannot be resolved to a type
Test cannot be resolved to a type

Sigh..your sources is working fine using ecillispe?

Has nothing to do with Eclipse.

can you give me the error messages from Eclipse (run a build and send me the error output) ?

or post it here.

Hi Raiman,
Kindly see attached.
Thanks and RegardsCalvin

hi Raiman, check your email :)

ok, got it.

the first block has something to do with your eclipse installation (plugin face and other stuff). You have to check, what these mean, but has nothing to do with Sikuli Guide.

The second block denoting the compilation errors are all in module SklTest and are resolved in the two libs
junit-4.8.2.jar
simple-xml-2.6.1.jar

So you either take care, that thes 2 libs are in yore project libraries, or you remove the SklTest.java from your sources (it is not really needed, since it contains the test cases used by the developer).

I think it's working. Thanks for the help, Raiman~ really appreciated it.
