AES encryption base64().encodetoString unidentified by java netbean

Question

I am currently working on an AES encryption 256 bit function found here:

http://deveshsharma.info/2012/10/09/256-bit-aes-password-based-encryption-in-java

What I am trying to do now is to see the output of the code above. But NetBean can't read encodeAsString after I import it.

import com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.dv.util.Base64;
...
byte[] encryptedTextBytes = cipher.doFinal(plainText.getBytes("UTF-8"));
return new     Base64().encodeAsString(encryptedTextBytes);

When I check with (alt+enter on encodeAsString), the error is

"cannot find symbol .. Base64 is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release"

Try using org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 instead of the obsolete sun import for Base64. See also Java AES encryption and decryption (and no I'm not the one who voted the question down)

Folk i realize i did not have the right jar for the base64. for folk who have the same problem as me please download commons-codec-1.9-bin.zip at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/download_codec.cgi to able run the given code.

Java 8 has a Base64 encode in package java.util.Base64. It is actually one of the better performers: performance comparisons of various encoders for the java platform

try not to use the implementation under the sun packages: e.g. com.sun.org.apache.xerces.... they are not supported and much slower.
