I need to encode some data in the Base64 encoding in Java. How do I do that? What is the name of the class that provides a Base64 encoder?
I tried to use the sun.misc.BASE64Encoder class, without success. I have the following line of Java 7 code:
wr.write(new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(buf));
I’m using Eclipse. Eclipse marks this line as an error. I imported the required libraries:
import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;
import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
But again, both of them are shown as errors. I found a similar post here.
I used Apache Commons as the solution suggested by including:
import org.apache.commons.*;
and importing the JAR files downloaded from: http://commons.apache.org/codec/
But the problem still exists. Eclipse still shows the errors previously mentioned. What should I do?
