Hi all,

I was attempting to build a BBWeather from sourcecode.

while executing rapc.exe with:

"C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE Component Package 4.2.1/bin/rapc.exe" -quiet import="C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE Component Package 4.2.1/lib/net_rim_api.jar" library=C:\wrk\bbtools\bbweather\build\lib\BBWeat herIcons C:\wrk\bbtools\bbweather\build\BBWeatherIcons.rap c C:\wrk\bbtools\bbweather\build\lib\BBWeatherIcons .jar

i get the following errors:

java.lang.StringBuilder: Warning!: No definition found
org.bbweather.utils.IconUtils: Warning!: Reference to undefined class: java.lang.StringBuilder

along with numerous other similar errors

I've searched but there are no references to "StringBuilder" anywhere in the project.

any ideas?

Hi taktix2003,

It's better you do use java.lang.StringBuffer instead of java.lang.StringBuilder.

Cheers,

there are no uses of java.lang.StringBuilder, but there are uses of java.lang.StringBuffer. thats the problem. I can't remove references that don't exist.

Try running a find utility to grep through the source code, to see if there's a hidden reference -- for example, some dormant reference that can easily be removed...

(If you're running cygwin or UNIX tools suite for win32, you use this below command)
c:\cygwin\bin\find c:\projects\BBWeather -exec grep -i "StringBuilder" {} ;
or if your command line grep.exe supports recursion,
grep -r -i "StringBuilder" c:\projects\BBWeather

Or instead, use the 'search' feature of your development environment. (as long as it follows folders recursively, and can search all files including non-source-code files, even binary files...)

Any of the above may reveal a file that pinpoints hidden references to an obsolete class. Hiding deep inside an old makefile, a definition file, a configuration file, a project workspace file, even if the reference is not in the source code itself... Even an old object file that's inadvertently recycled (this can happen with some development environments, if installing a project inadvertently includes object files that the compiler doesn't overwrite, if it thinks it's current)

P.S. Please note, I am not the developer of BBWeather, so can't answer specific questions about BBWeather. However, I'd like one of you BBWeather developer to add an automatic "area code" search into BBWeather, so I can just type in the city name instead of trying to remember 8-character codes such as CAXX0351. It may be as simple as sending a regular HTML search query http://www.weather.com/search/enhanced?where=<cityname> to weather.com and then parsing the resulting HTML screen for the 8-digit code. There may be multiple search results, so if that happens, just pop up a BlackBerry screen giving a choice of matching search results.

i had already done a complete search of all files and came up with nothing. I used grep on my linux workstation, search all files in intellij, search all on my windows box.

I'm quite positive that there is not a single reference to java.lang.StringBuilder in this project.

peter@floyd:~/wrk/bbtools$ grep -ri java.lang.StringBuilder *
peter@floyd:~/wrk/bbtools$ grep -ri StringBuilder *
peter@floyd:~/wrk/bbtools$ grep -ri StringBuffer *
bbutils/src/org/bbutils/HttpUtils.java: StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
bbutils/src/org/bbutils/HttpUtils.java: StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer((str.length() + 2) / 3 * 4);
bbweather/src/org/bbweather/WeatherThreadManager.java: StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

This seemed more like a general compilation problem, why i asked here.

I planned on fixing the startup bug with 0.74 first (app locks phone up when it has no city code configured). After that i can add a city search fairly easy.

I'm not a BBWeather developer either i just wanted a good weather app without writing it entirely from scratch.

It sounds like you may be compiling with a too recent version of the jre. String concatenation ("a" + "b") is done, behind the scenes, by StringBuilder or StringBuffer. The 1.4- series of the jre used StringBuffer, 1.5+ uses StringBuilder.

There is a compiler argument you can set to 1.4, but I am not sure how to do this with the bb jde.

You could also put the 1.4 jre in your Window's path variable (and remove other jres/jdks).

that was it. I use intellij for an IDE so it was just a matter of selecting 1.4 instead of 1.5. kind of annoying since the blackberry site said to use 1.5...

Is there a chance that it may be a user defined library.
