I have went onto the GitHub repository for the docx4j files and downloaded VariableReplace. When i copied this file into netbeans, I got an error on line 86 (Cannont find symbol).

Here is the code:

 * 
 * Approach 1, as shown in this example, works in simple cases

 * to insert images, or multiple rows in a table.
 * 
 * You're encouraged to investigate binding content controls
 * to an XML part.  There is org.docx4j.model.datastorage.migration.FromVariableReplacement
 * to automatically convert your templates to this better
 * approach.
 * 
 * OK, enough preaching.  If you want to use VariableReplace,
 * your variables should be appear like so: ${key1}, ${key2} 
 * 
 * And if you are having problems with your runs being split,
 * VariablePrepare can clean them up.

}

Does anyone know why I am getting this error?

EDIT:

I do not get any immediate errors, but when I run the code below, i get these errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger
    at org.docx4j.openpackaging.Base.<clinit>(Base.java:42)

I just figured out the problem :). I was using the old samples.

Here is the new code:
