I have a jar file which is a bunch of .class files(Java). I need to use some of the classes inside of the jar file into my intellij project. I followed these instructions:
Adding class/jar file to IntelliJ IDEA
The jar file did successfully link into the project as an external library. But, I am not able to access any of it's classes. Nor am I able to import any files from it. Can some one help me out ?

I am working with Scala in Intellij-Idea, and have run into a problem. I have included the Java tag in case someone with Java experience can also answer my question.
In my .ivy2/cache folder for a certain dependency I am working with, there are two jar files. One contains .class files and one contains .scala source files. I want to be able to modify one of the jars, drop it in my lib folder, then run my program with the jar that includes my changes.
I have an issue though. I can modify the file in the source folder with jar uvf, but when I drop it in lib, and run it, the changes don't show up. I have tried commenting out the dependency in my build.sbt file, but it appears to still be using my old dependency even after I run sbt update.
My question can be divided into several parts:
1) Can I just drop a jar file containing only .scala files in the lib folder and expect it to run?
2) To remove the dependency, is commenting out the line in my build.sbt file and then running sbt update enough?
3) Let us say that the only way to run the jar file as a dependency is to use a jar file containing .class files. How do I rebuild the jar with .class files using the .scala files if I don't have any of the other project files, like the build.sbt file? I have the source files, but I am not sure how to use it to recreate the jar without all the other information that usually comes packaged in a Scala project.
I use Intellij only to edit my files, and use sbt to run the code.
1) Can I just drop a jar file containing only .scala files in the lib folder and expect it to run?
That's not possible because the jar file is expected to contain class files, scala files will be handled as resources instead of source files.
2) To remove the dependency, is commenting out the line in my build.sbt file and then running sbt update enough?
I would run sbt clean instead, I haven't tried but sbt "show unmanagedBase" is supposed to list you the library if it was actually picked.
3) Let us say that the only way to run the jar file as a dependency is to use a jar file containing .class files. How do I rebuild the jar with .class files using the .scala files if I don't have any of the other project files, like the build.sbt file? I have the source files, but I am not sure how to use it to recreate the jar without all the other information that usually comes packaged in a Scala project.
The ideal way would be to find the complete repository for that source, update the source and run sbt publishLocal, if that's not possible, another way would be to reconstruct the build.sbt and keep adding libraries until the library compiles properly, hopefully, it will have no dependencies, or a few only.
this is the API i want to use: https://labs.micromata.de/projects/jak/quickstart.html
i tried to download and unzip the files (including JAXB) but i have no idea what to do with them. how do i add it to my project?
i searched for how to add API/library but all results told me to import the jar file. did not find any jar file. the unzip folder just looks like a regular project folder. i also tried to export that folder into a jar file, it did not solve the problem, tried to copy and paste the folder into my project, also did not help.
in the doc it says:
Download the Java API for KML JAR at GitHub and add the JAR to your
classpath.
If there are any dependencies, resolve them and add JAXB to
your classpath, too. Version 2.1.xx should be fine.
to add what JAR? i'm really confused
i just imported a Jackson's annotation library and imported it into my java application project in eclipse. However, after importing, the package doesn't contain any java files.
If I open the .jar file using a .zip extractor, all the java files are present.
Anyone knows how to rectify this?
Thanks already.

You need to add the binary jars (jar which has the class files), and not the source jar files.
If you add the source jar files and imported to your buildpath eclipse wont show any java files.
Instead first add the jar containing the class files, and then you can attach the source jar to the binary.
I have a Android project with some classes that I would like to compress to a JAR.
I create the JAR by right clicking my project - export - JAR - and the JAR gets created without any warnings.
I can access all classes from the JAR in my code but when I try to build the project get this exception :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: name.of.class.in.package
Does anyone know what resources should be exported with the JAR? The options you get is
.class path
.prject
AndroidManifest.xml
proguard.cfg
project.properties
Right now I have included all of the above.
Making the JAR into a library project is not an option. And just to make it clear I don't have anything in the RES folder of my JAR project.
Open the project properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export and check item Android Dependencies are checked to be exported to the result APK.
And if .jar exist in Library tab under Android Dependencies item.
If you have .jar in the "libs" folder it should be included by default.
Just add your JAR to classpath or build your project with Maven and include dependencies
Try generating the jar in a different way. Basically jar is a zipped file of all class files with an extension of .jar.
Select all your class files that needs to be included in a jar file.
Right click and send to compressed (Zip File).
you will have a zipped file which will contain all the class files.
Rename this zipped file with having an extension .jar
Now include this jar file into your project whichever you want to use.
Or if you want to zip all the files by a different method then make sure all the files are zipped together without a folder. So when you unzip the files you should get all the files without contained in a folder.
It looks similar with this topic. Follow the very clear instructions written by Russ Bateman.
I am trying to create and use jar file in an Android project under Eclipse. I have tried various methods without any success. Here are the steps:
Create jar file from the source files jar -cf lib.jar *.java
Copy jar file to libs folder
Right click, Build Path->Add to Build path
Now, compiler gives unresolved symbols if I try to use a class from the jar file?
Can someone please let me know correct method to create and use an external jar file for the Android project under eclipse.
This worked fine for me:
1)Place Jars in assets folder.
2)Right click on project name.
3)Select properties.
4)Select Java build path.
5) Select Libraries.
6) Click Add Jars.
