Intellij cannot resolve symbol 'lang3' apache












0














I would like to use StringUtils and have downloaded the "apache commons jar" zip file, copied the unzipped jar file into a lib folder in my intellij project, and added it to Libraries and to the classpath (via Project Settings). Then I imported with



import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;



but intelliJ can't resolve 'lang3'. Does anyone have any advice? Note: similar questions exist on stack exchange, eg. here and here, but they're not quite the same issue and their solutions haven't helped.



FYI I downloaded the 'common-lang3/common-lang3.jar.zip' folder from this website.



Thanks!

          You need to unpack the zip and add the extracted common-lang3.jar file to the module dependencies instead of the downloaded common-lang3.jar.zip file.



          Here is the sample project: HelloStringUtils.zip.



          Result of the execution and import working:



          Hello working

          • thanks! I noticed your jar had a different name and contents, so I copied that and it worked. Oddly, when I revisit the link in my post, from which I downloaded the original (clearly wrong) jar file, it is the correct file now. I've no idea why but thankyou.
