tess4j is an OCR packed with native library, I made a maven project to test it, I did add the installation path of maven to eclipse. I added M2_HOME, MAVEN_HOME and JAVA_HOME env variable,
here is my parent pom

Log4j 2 is broken up in an API and an implementation (core), where the API
provides the interface that applications should code to. Strictly speaking
Log4j core is only needed at runtime and not at compile time.
However, below we list Log4j core as a compile time dependency to improve
the startup time for custom plugins.

and of course, the code (taken from tess4j example)
package test;
import java.io.File;
import net.sourceforge.tess4j.Tesseract;
import net.sourceforge.tess4j.TesseractException;
/**

public class TesseractExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File imageFile = new File("C:\\DEV\\repo\\ongoing\\capcha-solver\\src\\test\\resources\\random.jpg");
Tesseract instance = Tesseract.getInstance(); // JNA Interface Mapping
// Tesseract1 instance = new Tesseract1(); // JNA Direct Mapping
try {
String result = instance.doOCR(imageFile);
System.out.println(result);
} catch (TesseractException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
When I lauch it I'm getting this exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: RESOURCE_PREFIX

I don't know if this is tess4j related or a JNA/JNI problem, as you can see I have a plugin that "should" (never worked with DLLs before) make them work.
Also in the parent pom my plugin are betwen plugin managment tags, I think I should have put them betwen build tags, no?
Any idea?
Thanks.
