I recently installed a newer version of Eclipse (Neon v1) and Tomcat 8.0, and I am now getting this error:
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp cannot be resolved to a type.
I am 99% sure that nothing in my code has changed. The way I understand it, org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp
comes from the JAR in Tomcat's library called "tomcat-dbcp.jar" which is there.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Tomcat and Eclipse, but I'm still getting the same error. I've tried adding the tomcat-dbcp.jar
to my project libraries and tried importing it directly in the java file but I still get the error. I know it is something to do with the .jar
files but I cannot figure out what else I can possibly do.
Nevemrind, figured out that there is a new version of DBCP and I had to change the tag to "org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2" to fix the problem.
