Using with scala

[penguinbroker]

We are currently prototyping a cloud based powerpoint conversion service built on top of the Play! Framework in Scala.

Generally it is very easy to include jar libraries in the application. We place them in the lib folder and the compiler knows to pull them into the project. However, with the Aspose Slides library we are getting the following error:

package slides contains object and package with same name: b one of them needs to be removed from classpath

What is the best way to get around this problem? Is it even possible? Has anyone else gotten the Aspose libraries working from Scala?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

I have tried to observe the issue shared by you. Can you please share the details about the issue and your Scala environment. I may investigate the environment details and its comparability with Aspose.Slides on my end. I may also suggest you to consider REST based implementation of Aspose.Slides in the form of Saaspose. Please visit this web link for your convenience.

Many Thanks,

We’re building the service using the scala Play! Framework. Although, I think this is anytime you try to get the Scala compiler to use the jar in a project.

Trying to import com.aspose.slides.PresentationEx throws a conflict error where the jar is trying to define a variable ‘b’ that is already being used.

package slides contains object and package with same name: b one of them needs to be removed from classpath

Please let me know if you would like any specific information. We can also try to set up a github repo that replicates the issue if that would help.
