Eclipse Kotlin plugin not compiling Kotlin classes - eclipse

Using Eclipse 2018.12, I've installed the Eclipse Kotlin plugin (0.8.20.20200316-1305), created a Kotlin project (using the "New..." options under "Kotlin") and wrote a "Hello World!" program:
Test.kt:
fun main() = System.out.println("Hello World!")
However, when I try to run it I get the message
Error: Could not find or load main class TestKt
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestKt
Upon further inspection it seems the class has never been compiled. There is no corresponding .class file anywhere. Under the project directory I see Eclipse configuration directory .settings and files .project and .classpath. Besides that, I have an empty bin directory and a src directory with Test.kt only.
I found two similar questions about this in SO:
In Unable to Run Kotlin Application in Eclipse, the accepted answer simply indicates working with a new version of Eclipse and Kotlin plugin, both older than what I have now. Besides, the problem may have been solved in that case due to a new installation rather than the version.
Kotlin - Error: Could not find or load main class _DefaultPackage is quite old and the accepted answer does not apply anymore. It was about not naming the main class properly, but in my case there is not even a byte code file to be found.
Running "Project -> Compile Kotlin classes" had no effect.
How can I get this simple example to run?
Update: I've updated to 2020-06 (not that it should matter since Eclipse Kotlin lists 2018-12 in its requirements) and replaced Zuly by AdoptOpenJDK HotSpotJDK 11. The error persists. The Eclipse log does not show any related messages.
Update 2: re-created the project in a brand-new workspace but the problem persists.

`Cannot find symbol` in IntelliJ 14

I have use the IntelliJ Scala plugin before, in 13 and 13.1. I upgraded to 14, and it doesn't work anymore for my SBT project.
For all Scala standard lib stuff, I see errors like "Cannot find symbol scala.Option".
at scala project, compiler error - Cannot resolve symbol List? says I need to have the Scala facet for my module. I looked in facets, and Scala wasn't an option.
I've uninstalled IntelliJ and the Scala plugin and my settings and the projects files multiple times, but still happens.
How do I fix this?
the new scala plugin for intellij 14 removed the facet and replaced it with Scala SDK library, see blog
for sbt project, I guess the best bet is to re-create your project by:
File -> open -> select the build.sbt of your project in popup -> delete existing project and import
I had a similar issue when a Java module calls an Scala object. The issue was from the wrong setup in Source Folders; the Scala source was in src/main/scala/..., but in the Project Structure, the Source Folders were setup as src by default. When I changed it as src/main/scala, the Java module can find the Scala object correctly.
I fixed this by using the nightly builds of the Scala plugin.
The fixes have now been incorporated into the stable versions.
In my case i just had to reload the IDE...

IntelliJ Scala configuration issue

So, I downloaded Scala and configured paths, I can run Scala console from terminal, Scala plugin is installed and "hello world" is running...
The problem is that, when I write a "hello world" program:
object First {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
println(12)
}
}
it says: Cannot resolve symbol println
As I said, I can run this program and it prints out 12... Also, if I create a List or an array it "cannot resolve symbol" but everything runs with no problem at all...
In most cases I've found, there was problem with Java set up, but that's not the case here...
Within File->Project Structure, make sure that there is a scala library in Project Settings\Libraries
Or, make sure that you have added scala-compiler.jar, scala-library.jar to your project.
If it is still acting strange, try File->Invalidate Cache/Restart
I had a similar issue with IntelliJ for an SBT project I started, with a correctly installed Scala 2.11 library, etc. Invalidate Cache fixed it so that IntelliJ could find the symbols.
Ensure, that you have scala-library.jar and scala-compiler in your project libraries.
Then try invalidating cache (File->Invalidate Caches/Restart->Invalidate and Restart).
If it's still not working, try reloading all your maven projects. You can either reimport them manually or go to Maven Projects->Reimport All Maven Projects (blue arrows).
I had similar issue and the last thing worked for me.
I hope it helps :)
I have the same issue when I use the idea 15, and fixed it in these 2 steps:
File -> Project Structure -> Libraries -> + -> Scala SDK -> your version -> OK
Maven Projects -> choose your scala project -> Lifecycle -> clean -> compile
Done
Don't know if this will help, but it worked with my environment. Navigate to:
File > Project Structure > Modules
Then, when I tried to apply a minor change, I got a message about how the Content Roots was being shared between two different Modules (a conflict). After removing the conflicting Content Root(s) from one of the Modules, IntelliJ started resolving symbols correctly.
You will see Content Roots on the right-hand side of the dialog box under module "Sources" tab.
I have no idea if the conflict in "Content Root" was what kept IntelliJ from resolving symbols, but fixing this error cleared everything up without having to change anything else.
if your version IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.4
Worksheet configuration error:: Can't find Scala module to run
project structure > Modules > + > new modules > scala > scala
I had this problem - it turned out to be caused by me upgrading Java on my Mac, so that my JDK's path (/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home) was no longer valid. I went into my Project Structure settings and updated the path to /Library/Java/Home, then the project could see the proper Java libraries.

Eclipse unresolved symbol with Play Framework

I'm a beginner user of Play Framework 2.1.3 and I have just created a new Java application and I have run play eclipse to generate the eclipse project for it. I have also tested so that it works by doing a play run.
So I'm following this tutorial and there is a step where you should add this piece of code:
public static Result index() {
return redirect(routes.Application.tasks());
}
But I'm getting the message "routes cannot be resolved". I have also tried play compile and in Eclipse doing a clean to no avail.
I was having the same trouble after the recent 2.4.X release of Play and the solution of cleaning/compiling/reimporting wasn't working. The solution for me was to:
Add the below keys to build.sbt
Kill eclipse
./activator clean
./activator compile
./activator eclipse
Re-import into eclipse
The problem is basically that the managed source directory wasn't being created, these lines fix the problem.
EclipseKeys.projectFlavor := EclipseProjectFlavor.Java // Java project. Don't expect Scala IDE
EclipseKeys.createSrc := EclipseCreateSrc.ValueSet(EclipseCreateSrc.ManagedClasses, EclipseCreateSrc.ManagedResources) // Use .class files instead of generated .scala files for views and routes
EclipseKeys.preTasks := Seq(compile in Compile) // Compile the project before generating Eclipse files, so that .class files for views and routes are present
run play clean-all from your project directory
run play eclipse from your project directory
refresh your eclipse project
Upgrade sbteclipse to version 5.1.0 (which was released on January 12th 2017) - it fixes this bug.
Probably some kind of classpath issue in your Eclipse setup. Anyway, you should not rely on Eclipse to compile your Play application, simply compile it from the console and use Eclipse for source code editing only. (BTW : there are way lighter IDEs then Eclipse if you don't use it for compilation)

Error in Eclipse about type indirectly referenced from required .class file

I'm having this exception with some stubs generateds by Axis2:
"The type org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement cannot be resolved. It is
indirectly referenced from required .class files"
I've been reading many posts, and trying to find a solution. What I've found so far is to add the apache tomcat 5.5 library to the build path. It removed the error in the java file, but then, when I to execute any java program inside the project, I got this error:
'Launching myApp' has encountered a problem Exception occurred
executing command line. Cannot run program "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\bin\javaw.exe" (in directory
"D:\Digicel\workspace\Digicel\myClassSample"): CreateProcess error=87,
The parameter is incorrect
then if I remove the apache tomcat library from the build path, I can run the other java programs, but not the one mentioned initially.
Any thoughts about it?
Okay, I've found the cause of the problem with the help of a friend :)
The thing is that Eclipse is aware that one of my dependencies, depends of another library, and Eclipse is checking for it when it tries to build the code.
So, what I've done is try to check which jar file contains this library: " org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement".
I've googled it and found that it is "axiom-api-1.2.10.jar" and finally my file compiled with 0 errors.
He also explained to me that my original solution of adding the apache tomcat server library is adding all the jars that cames with apache tomcat (which is a big list), and probably there may have been a version conflict with my current list of added jars.
So, the fix was to find the appropriate jar and add it to the project.
This error can also occur when a indirect dependency has a corrupt jar file. This may be caused by problems at the public maven repository.
If this is the case removing the local maven repository to download fresh jar files will fix your problem:
rm -Rf ~/.m2/repository/{enter/path/to/broken/stuff}
Goto Maven >Update Maven project>checkmark the Force update >Then Run
..That error Will gone....

noClassDefFoundError using Scala Plugin for Eclipse

I successfully implemented and ran several Scala tutorials in Eclipse using the Scala plugin. Then suddenly I tried to compile and run an example, and this error came up:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hello/HelloWorld
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hello.HelloWorld
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:315)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:330)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:250)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:398)
After this point I could no longer run any Scala programs in Eclipse. I tried cleaning and rebuilding my project, closing and reopening my project, and closing and reopening Eclipse.
Eclipse version number 3.5.2 and Scala plugin 2.8.0
Here is the original code:
package hello
object HelloWorld {
def main(args: Array[String]){
println("hello world")
}
}
If you see this when you attempt to run as a Scala application then the most likely explanation is that your project didn't compile and no class files were generated. Please check whether or not that's the case: look in your project's output folder for hello/HelloWorld.class.
If your project didn't compile that could either be because there's an error which you've missed (and if this error isn't being reported in the Problems view that could be a bug, in which case please open a ticket on Trac) or because you've turned off automatic builds and not done a manual build of your project.
I had the same problem. Project doesn't compile but there are no errors highlighted and AFAIK the code is OK. It seems to be a problem with the Run Configurations.
Solution 1: Delete the existing Run Configuration for your object and create a new one
Solution 2: Create a new object and cut / paste all your code into that file
When running "clean" does not un-hose Eclipse, I next try saving my work, exiting Eclipse, and re-starting. That usually gets things going again, but not always. A few times I've had to update the Scala plugin with a more recent version (I'm using the latest nightly), to get things working again. I doubt that this worked because the new plugin happened to fix the bug, but rather expect that loading the new plugin gives the whole Eclipse-Scala
system a "total reset" that gets it unhosed.
I was getting this problem in a project that combined .java & .scala files.
The solution for me was:
Remove all .java files
Edit the scala code as needed so it compiles without them.
Add the .java files back in.
Edit the scala code back.
The other solutions given here didn't work for me. I tried: clean project, restarting Eclipse, closing-&-opening the project, creating a new .scala file. No joy.
I'm using Eclipse 3.7 (latest stable), Scala IDE 2.0.0 and Scala 2.9 on Ubuntu Linux 11.10.
The symptoms in my case were:
My project was working, but then it stopped compiling for no apparent reason. The IDE didn't show any compilation errors for .scala files, but there were no .class files in the output directory & I got a NoClassDefError if I tried to run anything.
If I created a deliberate error in a .scala file, that did get picked up as a compilation error.
The .java files were registering errors due to the missing scala classes.
I suppose there's probably a boot-strapping bug somewhere in the IDE plugin for .java/.scala mixes. I've done hybrid projects with this setup without problems, so it's only triggered in some situations. I don't know what the trigger is, but once triggered, there's no nice solution.
I had moved my one and only class/object/application to a package, but had not added the package declaration.
sbt compiled and ran fine; eclipse would not
Adding the package declaration at the top of the file fixed it.
Scala 2.8.3 plugin; no compile error
I encountered this error too but after doing the suggestions here (cleaning, deleting Run Configuration etc), I realized that I set the workspace wrongly that is why the class is not being found.
An indication that this is a problem is when the same error occurs when you try to compile a java project.
I encountered this error (compilation worked in sbt but failed in eclipse) when I created a new package object called "common". Deleting the package object in eclipse caused the compile error to go away. There was nothing in it.
I was using sbt-eclipse to build the eclipse project. I'm using scala eclipse 3.0.0-vfinal-20130326-1146-Typesafe.
