Why can't I import the log4j.jar library?

Hi,

I have a standard install of NetBeans 6.0.1. I have two projects. The first project I started, I was able to import the log4j.jar file and use it to log just fine. When I created a second project, I go to import the library the same way. After I click OK, the import statements produce an error during compilation and when I go to check the libraries loaded in NetBeans, my log4j.jar isn't there anymore! Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Did you try with another project?

Can you add other libraries to the same project?

You may create a new project that clones your second project, or consider reinstall Netbeans (or wait another week for Netbeans 6.1 ;))

Yes, I tried another project and it worked fine. I've also added other libs to the same project with no issues.

The problem with creating a new one that clones the old one is that the project is being checked out via SVN - we we'd have to kill the entire SVN project and start a new one.

It turns out that one of my xml config files was not getting updated when I added or deleted libraries to the specific project. Looks like my netbeans project is corrupt. I had to manually add/delete the classpath in my config file in order for the import to work properly.
