How to import java class, to Robot Framework like library

Question

I can't understand how to import .jar file, in Robot Framework.

Here is the code:

*** Settings ***
Library   MyLibrary

*** Test Cases ***
My Test
    Do Nothing
    Hello    world

and Java:

public class MyLibrary {

    public void hello(String name) {
        System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "!");
    }

    public void doNothing() {
    }

}

After Extracting in .jar, I put in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\MyLibrary and I created empty __init__.py file. After I execute my Robot file with: pybot TestJavaLibrary.robot I get this WARN:

[ WARN ] Imported library 'MyLibrary' contains no keywords.
==============================================================================
TestJavaLibrary
==============================================================================
My Test                                                               | FAIL |
No keyword with name 'Do Nothing' found.

How to use this jar, like external library?

Answer 1

1. you need jython to run your tests, it means you need to install jython to run tests.
2. no special action is needed when importing your java library.
3. you need to tell jybot where to find your java library or classes.

    jybot --pythonpath <the_path_to_your_java_classes> your_tests
    //e.g.   
    jybot --pythonpath c:/test-project/target/classes  your_tests
