How do I fix a NoSuchMethodError?

Question

I\'m getting a NoSuchMethodError error when running my Java program. What\'s wrong and how do I fix it?

Answer 1

I was having your problem, and this is how I fixed it. The following steps are a working way to add a library. I had done the first two steps right, but I hadn't done the last one by dragging the ".jar" file direct from the file system into the "lib" folder on my eclipse project. Additionally, I had to remove the previous version of the library from both the build path and the "lib" folder.

Step 1 - Add .jar to build path

Step 2 - Associate sources and javadocs (optional)

Step 3 - Actually drag .jar file into "lib" folder (not optional)
