not found: object akka?

Question

I am new to Scala. I have downloaded the Scala Eclipse IDE, and started to write a new program using akka and actors, and I am trying to import akka as follows,

import akka.actor._

but am getting the errors as follows, Multiple markers at this line - not found: object akka - object actor is not a member of package akka

I want to know why I am getting this error, do I need to add any other packages ?

Answer 1

You need to add a dependency to the akka-actor jar. "Getting started" section of the Akka documentation http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/intro/getting-started.html has more information on which jars to add.
