I tried to add a jar file in the "core" project by doing:
right click in the project->properties->java build path -> libraries -> add external jars
And when I tried to see the class file it says "source not found" also it's giving me this error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
How can I add my jar files in a libgdx project?
It is saying source not found because you need to attach the source files separately.
To do this, simply expand the jar file(s) in question (double-click on it, or click on the arrow in the library in the Java Build Path section.), and then click on Source attachment, and click edit. Then click browse on the window that will pop up, and find a file that is has a name likened to src.zip, or something similar, in the library's directory.
Essentially, this adds the compressed source package that may be required by that library, so it can access it.

How do I import a jar in Eclipse?
You can add a jar in Eclipse by right-clicking on the Project → Build Path → Configure Build Path. Under Libraries tab, click Add Jars or Add External JARs and give the Jar. A quick demo here.
The above solution is obviously a "Quick" one. However, if you are working on a project where you need to commit files to the source control repository, I would recommend adding Jar files to a dedicated library folder within your source control repository and referencing few or all of them as mentioned above.
Adding external Jar is not smart in case you want to change the project location in filesystem.
The best way is to add the jar to build path so your project will compile if exported:
Create a folder called lib in your project folder.
copy to this folder all the jar files you need.
Refresh your project in eclipse.
Select all the jar files, then right click on one of them and select Build Path -> Add to Build Path
Two choices:
1/ From the project:
2/ If you have already other jar imported, from the directory "References Libraries":
Both will lead you to this screen where you can mange your libraries:
Here are the steps:
click File > Import. The Import window opens.
Under Select an import source, click J2EE > App Client JAR file.
Click Next.
In the Application Client file field, enter the location and name of the application client JAR file that you want to import. You can click the Browse button to select the JAR file from the file system.
In the Application Client project field, type a new project name or select an application client project from the drop-down list. If you type a new name in this field, the application client project will be created based on the version of the application client JAR file, and it will use the default location.
In the Target runtime drop-down list, select the application server that you want to target for your development. This selection affects the run time settings by modifying the class path entries for the project.
If you want to add the new module to an enterprise application project, select the Add project to an EAR check box and then select an existing enterprise application project from the list or create a new one by clicking New.
Note: If you type a new enterprise application project name, the enterprise application project will be created in the default location with the lowest compatible J2EE version based on the version of the project being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.
Click Finish to import the application client JAR file.
Just a comment on importing jars into Eclipse (plug-in development) projects:
In case you are developing Eclipse plug-ins, it makes sense to use Eclipse's native bundling mechanism instead of just importing the jar into a plug-in project. Eclipse (or better its underlying OSGi runtime, Equinox) uses so-called bundles which contain some more information than plain jars (e.g., version infos, dependencies to other bundles, exported packages; see the MANIFEST.MF file). Because of this information, OSGi bundles can be dynamically loaded/unloaded and there is automatic dependency resolution available in an OSGi/Eclipse runtime. Hence, using OSGi bundles instead of plain jars (contained inside another OSGi bundle) has some advantages.
(BTW: Eclipse plug-ins are the same thing as OSGi bundles.)
There is a good chance that somebody already bundled a certain (3rd party) library as an OSGi bundle. You might want to take a look at the following bundle repositories:
http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/
http://www.osgi.org/Repository/HomePage
Eclipse -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries -> New(Name it) -> Add external Jars
(I recommend dragging your new libraries into the eclipse folder before any of these steps to keep everything together, that way if you reinstall Eclipse or your OS you won't have to rwlink anything except the JDK) Now select the jar files you want. Click OK.
Right click on your project and choose Build Path -> Add Library
FYI just code and then right click and Source->Organize Imports
Jar File in the system path is:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar
ojdbc14.jar(it's jar file)
To import jar file in your Eclipse IDE, follow the steps given below.
Right-click on your project
Select Build Path
Click on Configure Build Path
Click on Libraries, select Modulepath and select Add External JARs
Select the jar file from the required folder
Click and Apply and Ok
first of all you will go to your project what you are created
and next right click in your mouse and select properties in the bottom
and select build in path in the left corner and add external jar file add click apply .that's it
In eclipse I included a compressed jar file i.e. zip file. Eclipse allowed me to add this zip file as an external jar but when I tried to access the classes in the jar they weren't showing up.
After a lot of trial and error I found that using a zip format doesn't work. When I added a jar file then it worked for me.
Right Click on the Project.
Click on Build Path.
Click On Configure Build Path.
Under Libraries, Click on Add Jar or Add External Jar.
If you are having a trouble on udemy course of chad on springboot for the importing the jar. Then follow these steps.
Right click on the project.
You will see a option of Build Path, click on it.
You will have a option of Configure Build path, click on it.
Go to libraries.
Then go to the place where you have a jar files make them into a new folder and upload on a new place.
Then click on Add External Jars, you will surely be able to upload it which will help on classpathxmlapplicationcontext as well.
Thank you.
I am new to Eclipse and Java, and I know that .jar files I need to add into libs derectory so that compiler could recognize them. How I can add .jars not only in libs folder but also in other folder too. How can I configure Eclipse to do that?
It's easiest if you have the jar files visible in the package explorer to start with, i.e. within your project directory. At that point, you can just right-click on the jar file, go to the "Build path" section of the context menu, then select "Add to build path".
If the jar file is elsewhere and you don't want to move it, you can right-click on the project, and under the "Build path" part of the context menu, select "Add external archives...". Then find the jar file in the file browser, and hit OK.
All of this can also be done from the project properties dialog, in the Java Build Path section.
Right Click project
Select Properties
Select Java Build Path
Under Tab Libraries Click on add jars or add external jar to add the required jars
The Java build path is used while compiling a Java project to discover dependent classes . It is made up of the following items:
Code in the source folders
Jars and classes folder associated with the project
Classes and libraries exported by projects referenced by this
project
Our goal is to feed our classes with the dependent classes present in the jars during compile time. Eclipse provies with number of easy ways to do it .Here you can find a good article about how to add the jars in the projects with screenshorts attached to it http://www.wikihow.com/Add-JARs-to-Project-Build-Paths-in-Eclipse-(Java)
I have a problem, I need to add a .jar file into android dependencies folder in eclipse. I have looked for similar stack posts but none of them worked for me.
I have tried pasting the jar file into the libs folder but it gives an error
cannot copy the clipboard content into the selected items"
I have to deliver my work by tomorrow. Please help. Thanks in advance
Add it to the classpath, which is specified by the "Java Build Path" menu in the project properties.
More info here: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-properties-build-path.htm
If you're using the ADT plugin for Eclipse, you must add it to your classpath. Simply right-click on your project, choose 'Properties', go to the 'Java Build Path' tab, and, in the 'Libraries' tab, click "Add External JARs" and import your JAR. This will auto-import the file and allow you to use it in your projects.
Your problem may be similar to this one: Difference between Libraries & lib folders ? How do we add jar files to lib folder?
In my project, I need to use external library. That library consists of .class files. I have added folder with this library to my project using properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add class folder. I can compile project without any problem, but when I run it, I get failed resolving xy and debugger stops on line where I create instance of class from imported files.
I guess the external library I use isnt linked to my .apk file. How can I fix this? I have tried to check this library on "Order and Export" tab assuming that, it will export the library with my application. But it didnt work.
How can I link this library to my project .apk? Do I need to somehow install this library on device first? Do I need to copy this library in application folder?
PS: I'm using Eclipse Juno, android SDK target 10.
Thank you
UPDATE
I have this library copied in libs folder. External library path is:
my_project/libs/sk/aicit/leg/libraries*.class
I have added ./libs folder in Libraries settings of project.
I do not have .jar version of this library, only .class files.
I have also souce code of this library, but I didnt want to include its classes in my project, it has its own dependencies, I wanted to just "link" it like library. Its an external library I havent written.
UPDATE 2
I have copied all the source files from library to my projects "src/" dir. I have removed Library from Java build path. I can stil compile my project, but when I run it Iget
FATAL EXCEPTION:main
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{
com.example/myvideorecord/com.example.myvideorecord.Robot}: java.langNullPointerException
...
What can I do, how to debug this error? :(
steps
Copy the library file into libs folder
select jar file -> right click -> Build Path -> Add to Build Path
clean the project Project-> Clean -> select your project -> ok
Android Studio
For importing a Android library into Android Studio, use the following steps:
1) (Optional) I like having my main Android project contain everything it needs to compile correctly, so I move external libraries into the libs/ directory. Generally, you only need to keep the following directories:
res
src
AndroidManifest.xml
*.iml (This will typically be the name of the library you're importing.)
2) Go to your Project Properties.
3) Go to Modules.
4) Import a New Module (Command + N and then Import Module).
5) Navigate to the library directory you want to import.
6) Create module from existing sources.
7) Click Next three times to add the necessary files.
8) Click Finish to complete the module additional.
9) Click on your project in the module list and go to the Dependencies tab.
10) Click the + button at the bottom and click Module Dependency....
11) Make sure your library you're importing is selected and click OK.
12) Click OK in the Project Properties window.
And you should be good to go.
Copy that library file into libs folder
if u have the source code of the library you can import it in eclipse .
Right click on your project -> properties->android -> reference-> add
and add the library project which u have imported. This will include only .class files of the library in ur project
I have an Eclipse/Java project (Eclipse 3.5.2) that I am trying to add some JARs to. In the root project directory I have 3 sub-directories, src, bin, and lib and all 3 sub-directories are present in the Package Explorer list. I put the needed JARs into lib. However, when I go to Project Propertes -> Java Build Path -> Libraries (tab) -> Add JARs, and the file dialog comes up, it only shows the src and bin directories in the file picker, not the lib directory. I'm guessing it is something really simple, but can someone tell me why the file picker dialog doesn't show the lib directory?
-- roschler
After you copy a jar file to your lib folder, you need to refresh the project in Eclipse (use F5) so Eclipse knows about it.
It will then show you the lib folder in that dialog.
Note: You are correct in your answer that the said dialog doesn't reread the directory structure, but you are missing the point - it is not supposed to. That's what you have "add external jar" for. Further more, Eclipse is trying to be smart and not show you jars that you have already added (think about a folder with 50 jars and you just want to add one). That's why it didn't show you the lib folder - it thought the folder was empty.
This is to help others. I had to do File -> Refresh to get Eclipse to see the files. Apparently file picker dialogs do not reread the disk structure. I guess they are pulling from Eclipse's main file directory image which has to be refreshed before new files are visible anywhere else in the program.
This is how I resolved this problem.
I created a lib folder in my java project.Then I added some jar to lib folder.
But it doesn't appear in my eclipse IDE.Then I selected my project and right clicked on it. Then refreshed.
It works for me. I think this will help you.
