Weird problem with imports in Maven project

[Mario Camou]

Hi,

I'm running NetBeans 6.7 final with the latest version of the scala-plugin in the repositories. I have a Maven project to which I've added the commons-httpclient-3.1 dependency.

Here's the code I'm having trouble with:

  def search(query:String):Option[Any] = {

    import java.net.URLEncoder.encode

    import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient  // Problem line

    import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod  // Problem line

    val baseURL = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q="

    val method = new GetMethod(baseURI+encode(query))

    new HttpClient.executeMethod(method)

    val response = new String(method.getResponseBody)

    println(response)

    val resp = JSON.parse(response)

    println(resp)

    resp

  }

I typed in both import lines marked as "Problem line" using autocomplete (so I would assume they are correct...and they ARE according to the contents of  commons-httpclient). However, once the line is typed, NetBeans marks the text starting with "httpclient." as an error. The tooltip says that httpclient isn't a member of package org.apache.commons (which it is).

The only lines flagged as errors are the two import lines marked above. However, if I type "new HttpClient." and hit Ctrl+Space, it gets immediately autocompleted to "new HttpClient.<anyname>". I assume that's because the import error above is confusing the autocomplete.

So, am I doing something stupid? Or should I just go ahead and report a bug? Where are bugs tracked for the NetBeans Scala Plugin?

Thanks,
-Mario.

Try to do a "mvn:install" first.

I've done it and am still getting the same problem. I'm also getting that problem with another dependency too, jackson-mapper-lgpl (from the Codehaus repository), but in this case the autocomplete does not work.

mvn install from the command-line works, as does a "clean and build" from the project's context menu.

...by "autocomplete does not work" I mean that I type "org.", hit Ctrl+Space, and the list does not include "codehaus". Looking at the Libraries node in the Projects pane I can drill down and see that the dependency does, in fact, include org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper.
