I'm new at java programming so i just wanted to try something with ssh understand how it works and so i downloaded a java library which is mentioned in this Stack Overflow answer
. After a lot of failed attempts on importing this library into netbeans. I decided to simply put the files into my src folder. But Netbeans ide duplicating packages in the jar file with their 'name equivalent' empty packages and this prevents me to reach the classes in the packages because the IDE and the Code completion automatically sees the empty packs.I've search the network couldn't find anything about this problem.I 'm ready to share any log files if there are any of them .Here is my screenshot about this situation.

OS : Linux Mint Rosa
IDE : Netbeans 8.1 Linux version
Edit : I Already looked these topics
How to use .jar files in NetBeans? : At first i've tried this and in this solution netbeans not duplicating any empty packs but when i start to type somethin' like that import sshj.foo.*; Auto Complete can't find anything and also if i try to write the whole path to a specific class which is in an specific pack IDE gave me an error the pack that you're looking for is not exist.Secondly I've tried this
and got the same issue at first try.I can see the packs,classes and other stuff but still can't reach them in a random class which is imported project.
How can I include external jar on my Netbeans project : I've tried this and also this ran perfectly without errors as they said but when i try to reach classes still got the same problem so nothing changed.
How to add a JAR in NetBeans :
In this topic all of the replies explained types of libraries.That's not even related to my problem
How to use classes from .jar files? : I've tried to do explained in this reply also and I've transfered my jar file into a compiled .class extension file and this didn't solve my issue too.
I've just solved that problem with downloading part of the libraries from here.
All libraries need to contain three kind of jars ;
1 . Compiled files containing jar (with extension .class)
2 . Source files containing jar (with extension .java)
3 . Javadoc files containing jar (optional)
Open a project find libraries folder on ide right click and choose Add JAR/Folder specify the directory that contains the compiled files.After importing library hit right click over it and choose edit then specify the source files and javadoc files directories you are ready to roll.

I've run .jar files before, but I've encountered a "different" situation, and I'm not sure what to do. I'd appreciate if someone could help me out.
Previously, I programmed with Java 6 and Eclipse Juno exported all my programs to runnable jar files. I'd get a .jar file that I could run by just double clicking on it. The files always looked something like this (note the jar file icon):
Recently, I wrote a program in Java 8 with Eclipse Luna (Release 4.4.0) and exported it to a runnable jar file, and I got something different (note the different file icon):
It no longer runs when I double click it. Instead, my computer uncompresses the jar, as it would a zip file. I tried running it from terminal. I cd'd to the directory and typed
java -jar graph3D.jar
I got the following error message:
Error: Unable to access jarfile graph3D.jar
After uncompressing the jar file, I found a folder named META-INF with the manifest file, MANIFEST.MF in it. It was the only file that seemed to resemble an executable file. Do I have to do something with that?
Could someone explain how I can run the second jar file graph3D.jar? Is it something new with Java 8, or something different about Eclipse Luna, or something else?
(Both programs run fine in Eclipse, by the way)
Thanks for your time and help.
Edit:
Below was the dialog box Eclipse displayed if anyone is interested.
Selecting "Use .jar;.zip" makes the filename "graph3D.jar;.jar;*.zip" .
Selecting "Use .zip" makes the filename "graph3D.jar;*.zip"
Selecting "Cancel" doesn't let you go forward.
You'd have to manually delete the extra file extension.
Somehow when you exported the file, the filters for the file dialog box (*.jar;*.zip) got attached to the filename, which is graph3D.jar;*.jar;*.zip, not graph3D.jar. Java can't find it because it doesn't have the name you supplied. Rename the file and pay close attention next time you export; either you fat-fingered something, or you're triggering a significant bug that needs fixing.
I recommend that you will access the build folder after you've built your project on the IDE under your project folder (in your workspace) and copy both the libraries folder and the .jar and post them wherever you want the program to be "installed", you'll then have an executable jar that should run smoothly without problems, just as I said don't forget the lib folder.
I think there is nothing new in Java 8 related with the running jar, I guess you need to check the the Eclipse export issues, it seems your classes are missing from your second jar file.
I'm new to Java and NetBeans and I'm having a very hard time getting a simple project started.
I'm trying to include .jar files I need to work on a NetBeans plugin. I can successfully add the .jar files to my project using a variety of attempted methods.
I added .jar files by the project properties and added the 'wrapped jar' files to the project
I added the .jar files to the 'Libraries' item in the Projects explorer tree
Both methods appear to work in the IDE. They allow the desired classes to be accessed in the IDE and no syntax or access errors (etc) are detected. However, when I build and run I get ten pages of errors such as NullPointerException and this doozy:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Will not load class org.netbeans.modules.openide.nodes.NodesRegistrationSupport arbitrarily from one of ModuleCL#2afef4c1[org.openide.nodes] and ModuleCL#2debe24[com.myproject.simplelauncherbutton] starting from SystemClassLoader[316 modules]
com.myproject.simplelauncherbutton is my own package. Why would NetBeans even be looking in my package for this class? And even if it is looking there, how can it be finding the class there, to be confused? I just want to make a NetBeans plugin using a .jar file for support. How can I get this working?!
Solved with help from a coworker. The problem was the way in which I was including packages in my project. I was trying to include packages in my project that did not seem to be available. For example, I needed to use org.openide.nodes, so at the top of my class file I wrote:
import org.openide.nodes;
NetBeans would respond saying it couldn't find this package. When I found a wrapped JAR package containing org.openide.nodes and included that in my project, it generated a slew of errors too long to list here.
However, when I add the module by its English name "Nodes API" in the project properties, everything works fine. I wish there were some documentation or instructions I had been able to find to save me hours of stressing about why I couldn't get NetBeans to recognize the various versions of org.openide.* I was trying to use.
Ok the deal is, I've made a small class library (*.Jar file) to help make a more visually organized code and to help with some common tasks.
Before you tell me to go to: Tools > Preferences > Libraries.
I have done that, over and over and over again.. I also tried to manually add it to: C:\Program Files\BlueJ\lib\userlib\"jar file here"
And yes, i did restart BlueJ to load the newly added libraries.
No matter what i seem to try it won't let me import it to my project using the import command, but without it, it just won't compile.
I know i can just add the classes manually, but as the class library slowly grow, so does the effort of adding all the classes in that library.
In advance, thanks for your help and consideration.
If adding your jar file in the Preferences > Libraries tab doesn't work, you can try adding the jar to the "userlib" directory at <bluej-dir>/lib/userlib (where <bluej-dir> is the folder where BlueJ was installed).
A third option you can try is adding your jar file directly to a project by creating a +libs directory inside your project directory and copying the jar to that directory. This has the drawback that you have to manually copy the jar to each project +libs subfolder that needs your library. On the plus side, it allows you to distribute your project (library jars included) just by zipping up the root project directory.
On Windows I create directory named "+libs" on my blueJ project directory,
then add .jar to that directory, and restart blueJ ,
that´s help me, and import after that work fine
Despite the post's oldness for who stumble upon i can say with the newest version of BlueJ (actually 4.1.3) in an old Ubuntu distro(Lucid Lynx aka 10.04LTS) all work as intended per default without any hack
I already imported the jar files in netbeans but my main java file still cannot find the methods. I am using netbeans 7.3.1 on Mac. Does anyone know how make it work?
Thank you,
I also had problem with importing classes from imported jar. It was so damn annoying...
There are couple solutions # web, (clear cache in user's AppData. or make sure to add jar's properly - by using "Add Jar/Folder..." option) but none of them worked for me.
What worked was new project and importing THE SAME (that's sad) jar files into it. So I had 2 project with exactly the same contents, but only one of them was working (compiling).
EDIT:
However, your problem is not related to mine. Root cause of your issue is the jar itself.
It contains class files in default package that is making them impossible to import.
Read here how to import class from default (unnamed) package.
hey guyes just keep your .jar files in the "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\lib\ext" it will work definitely.I have tried all the other options but i finally copied my .jar files in above path and it worked.
I have a Java JAR file that was developed to run in the browser. It works fine. There doesn't appear to be any sort of build file associated with the source code I've been given and I'm attempting to create a project and/or build script.
The source code references some third party code. What I've done is unzipped the JAR file into a folder that has this structure:
\App\src\com
\App\src\META-INF
\App\src\applet
The "com" folder contains subfolders which contain the .CLASS files for the third party libraries. "applet" contains the .JAVA source code files (one folder, maybe 15 files).
The code appears to be written in 1.4 syntax (I manually attempted to compile some of the .JAVA files and it complained that some things were deprecated and/or required the older version).
I created a Java Project in Eclipse and pointed it to the \App folder. Then I went into the Properties for the project and went to Libraries and and clicked on "Add Class Folder" and added the \App\src\com folder. Then I went to "Order and Export" and moved this to the top. I also set the Java Compiler version to 1.4.
I am getting a large number of compiler errors, all of which seem to stem from the fact that it says it can't resolve an import. This import is the set of .CLASS files contained in the "com" subfolders. The namespace matches the directory structure.
This seems like it should be really straightforward, but I've tried various things and don't seem to be making any progress. Based on what I've read I'm sure it has something to do with the pathing but I'm at a loss at this point on how to fix it.
(I'm sure it goes without saying that I'm not a Java dev.)
Any thoughts or ideas as to where I'm going wrong?
Can you please try to right click on Eclipse's Navigator. Select Import>General>archive file> (Jar file that you want to import).
You should be getting the jar file correctly imported at this point. Do tell me if you face any problems.
