Undefined symbol sun.awt.image.CachingSurfaceManager on JIDE common layer

I've just downloaded the JIDE common layer and I'm not able to build it because it can't find the CachingSurfaceManager class.

I'm trying to build this using Netbeans and the latest version of java sdk (downloaded yesterday). Should I try eclipse? I don't think that will solve the problem as I'm not able to find the class in the java documentation either.

I thought it could be from java 6 and not 7 (which is the one I've downloaded).

This page says its in rt.jar and I can't find it in there either...

Any ideas?

Solution

  • I can find the CachingSurfaceManager class in the sun.awt.image package of a JDK 1.6. I was not able to find it in 1.7. So, I would suggest you try to compile and run your project with a JDK 1.6 distribution.
