problems with src folder and build path

[javabeanjohnny]

im newb, and I couldnt find any decent tutorials on the file system of eclipse so i came here

 

 

This is my problem. From a tut, i was told that ctrl+shift+o would insert all of the imports. However it is giving me this "resource is not on a build path of a java project" dialog

Trying to set the folder as the src folder creates confusion in the code.

this is 1.10

If you didnt read. im a newb. this happened while i was working on a tutorial for using the code in minecraft. i have no idea what the difference is. I can swear i am using forge 1.10 so is there something about 1.7 code? please excuse any apparent ignorance i have.

I understand the basic concepts of coding, but not much of java. I had no idea that the classes were moved. The tut must be outdated then. Thanks for helping. So what is the right code?

Everything in the cpw package moved to net.minecraftforge.

 

Rather than typing out imports, let your IDE do it for you.  Remove all your import lines, then hover over each object one after the other and import the right thing (or hit ctrl-O).

 

Also, do not do

Main instance = new Main()

, that "new Main()" portion is unnecessary and will be overwritten by Forge when it instantiates your mod.

is there an up to date tutorial i can find? sounds like theres a lot of differences between 1.7 and 1.10

A Minecraft modding tutorial wouldn't help you with the problems you have.  You need to have a stronger understanding of OOP first.

[javabeanjohnny]

I was hoping i would get a refresher THROUGH the tutorials. I know how code works, i just dont know java, or forge. I went through three different classes showing the basics of OOP with python, C++, and C#. but given its been a while since i last needed to use it ... I should probably go through a quick refresher anyways. I have forgotten all the terms

 

 

What exactly did i miss that i should have gotten?

i just dont know java

There's your problem. Description of Modder Support:

This is the support section for those modding with Forge. Help with modding goes in here, however, please keep in mind that this is not a Java school. You are expected to have basic knowledge of Java before posting here.
