I'm attempting to use the socket.io implementation for Java. I need 2 dependencies: 1) Engine.IO Java Server and 2) Socket.IO Server Java. I'm struggling to import the actual Java packages once the dependencies have been added to my pom.xml
. Looking at the javadocs for Engine.IO Java Server, it looks like the package name to import should be io.socket.engineio.server
. However, this results in an error (details below). For other dependencies that I add, what's the best way to find the package name to actually import the dependency in my Java source code?
I'm not using an IDE like IntelliJ/Eclipse. I'm just using a more simple text editor (VSCode) and a terminal. Also, I've ensured the dependencies are actually downloaded and installed in my ~/.m2/repository
directory. Here are my files/terminal output.
