Android Question Can not create library B4A from Eclipse

[Volga_]

Hello everyone,
I can not create library B4A from Eclipse follow to
Please tell me how to do this ? Thanks.

1. Use SLC to compile and build the jar and XML files: [Tool] Simple Library Compiler - Build libraries without Eclipse
2. Think carefully if you really need to create a library.

Thanks Erel, I used SLC to compile FirstLib sample, but I could not get result. How to correct this work with SLC?

Configure B4A to use Java 8. The doclet tool depends on Java 8.

I agree with Erel that you should use SLC if you really think it is necessary to create a library. The problem for me, as a non-Java expert , is that if you get an error message from SLC, it is unclear to me where it comes from and how you can solve it.

That's why I use a two-step approach when I want to create a library with SLC. I first start in Eclipse with JavaSE1.8 project in Eclipse. Then I change the JavaSE1.8 to the used Java jdk-1.8 library that I use in B4X. I first use Eclipse to solve all the challenges to get the library error-free (imports and Java syntax) ?.

Then I merge the SLC directories with those of SLC and point SLC to the src directory of the Eclipse project and then use SLC to compile the library in the B4X environment error-free ? and create the doclet xml file ?.
