EMJL Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable code - cannot find symbol

Question

I am trying to get EJML to work, especially to create matrices with random numbers. Creating regular a SimpleMatrix and DMatrixRMaj works well. But I keep getting java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable code - cannot find symbol when using more advanced statements such as

DMatrixRMaj D2 = new RandomMatrices_DDRM.createSymmetric(20,-2,3,rand);

or

SimpleMatrix S2 = new SimpleMatrix.random64(20,20,-2,3,rand);

Below is the full code and error messages.

Thanks!

public class EvoSim {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    EvoSim evoSimInstance = new EvoSim();
    evoSimInstance.start();
}

public void start() {
    
    Random rand = new Random();
    SimpleMatrix A = new SimpleMatrix(3,3);
    DMatrixRMaj​ D  = new DMatrixRMaj(3,3) ; 
    
    DMatrixRMaj D2 = new RandomMatrices_DDRM.createSymmetric(20,-2,3,rand);
    SimpleMatrix S2 = new SimpleMatrix.random64(20,20,-2,3,rand);
    
    A.print();
    }
}

Answer 1

Use the static symmetric method in RandomMatrices_DDRM

DMatrixRMaj d2 = RandomMatrices_DDRM.symmetric(20,-2,3,rand);

and similarly for SimpleMatrix
