Thread: Base64 problem

Hello there everyone, I'm new to this forum so please tell me if I'm posting in the wrong section or anything...

I'm making a IMGUR Image Uploader but the problem is the Base64 encode, it's giving me an error because of restrictions in rt.jar?

I googled it already but can't find a way to fix this...

Error msg:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
The method encode(String, String) in the type URLEncoder is not applicable for the arguments (byte[], String)
Access restriction: The type Base64 is not accessible due to restriction on required library C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\rt.jar
Access restriction: The method encode(byte[]) from the type Base64 is not accessible due to restriction on required library C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\rt.jar

The line where the problem is:

				data = URLEncoder.encode("image", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(new String(Base64.encode(baos.toByteArray())), "UTF-8");

Code taken from The Imgur API - Examples

Thanks.

Let me google that for you
