Netbeans Where is my Library JAR/Folder that I have added - java

I have added a jar named freetts in Libraries in my Project, I copied the whole netbeans java project to another system but I could not compile it as the freetts library was missing there. So how do I locate the library on disk so that I can copy it to the system I have copied the project to.

Right click on the folder/JAR and click on edit
and in there you will be able to see where the folder/JAR is located on your disk

Visual Studio Code Java Project export location

I'm using Visual Studio Code with the Java Extension Pack for a java application.
As you can see in the image above, the downwards facing arrow button exports my project to a Jar, which is saved to the project folder.
Is there an option anywhere I can set the export location, or post-build events where I can copy the jar to another location?
No, it does not contains this feature and the settings to configure it for now. You can copy the jar file to anywhere you want and if it forces users to choose a place to put the jar file before creating it, that's tedious and a waste of time.

I have my JSP files in the ty154 folder and Images inside Image folder.
I have my .JAVA and .Class file inside Classes folder.
Please help me how to open and configure my project in eclipse.
Thanks in advance !!
Its not possible to import the project that you have created using terminal/text editor in to eclipse.You have to create a Dynamic Web Project under eclipse and copy paste the java files under source directory of the project. The jsp and other html files will go in to WebContents folder of the project. Once this is done the eclipse project can be copied and can be imported in to any other eclipse installations.The best read is:http://goo.gl/hPVapt
As you have written source code in terminal environment so you wouldn't be having an eclipse project file to be imported properly. First you need to create an eclipse project and then you can add source from your code directories. This link describes it pretty well:
http://thusithamabotuwana.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/importing-existing-source-code-into-eclipse/
If you have the war file, then you can import the war file directly in eclipse. Go to File>import then select war
For this you need to have Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers
The "Import Existing Project" entry only works for Eclipse projects.
In your situation with a simple project I would create a new Dynamic Web project and copy in the sources to the source folder - just Ctrl-c the files outside Eclipse, and Ctrl-v them inside Eclipse - and the static files to the publish location. You essentially need to know what has been done to ensure it has been done right.

How do I use PDFBox with Eclipse? Does it package in jar files?

I am writing a Java program in eclipse that will read in a PDF file and analyze lines of the PDF report and spit out statistics about what was read in. In order to read in the PDF file (by extracting the text), I am using PDFbox. The goal of this project is just to automate a manual process.
Two questions:
I've taken some java programming classes but don't have much experience in linking external binary files to eclipse.
Will the PDFbox library I add to eclipse transfer over with the jar file I make? The intention is to email this jar file to a collegue to use in his day to day job to make his life easier. I just want to make sure the packaged jar file keeps the PDFbox library.
How do I add the PDFbox library to eclipse so I can use the library's methods?
You will need to send both the jar you produce (from building your project) and the PDFbox jar. The PDFbox far file must be in the CLASSPATH when you run your application.
Add a jar (for the purpose of building only) as follows: select the project, type ALT-Enter (or right-mouse on the project and select properties), click on "Java Build Path", click the "Add External Jars..." button, browse to the PDFbox jar file, click the "open" button, then click the "OK" button (on the properties window). The PDFBox jar file is now in the build CLASSPATH of your project. See step run concerning the runtime CLASSPATH.
On Mac, For me it worked when I did:
Java Build Path -> Add External Jars ->
And the location was:
/Users/yourname/.m2/repository/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox/1.8.x/pdfbox-1.8.x.jar

How to import a jar in Eclipse?

Hi I am n00b in classpath and Ant. While reading the tutorial of GCM for Android I came across a line
Step 1: Copy the gcm.jar file into your application classpath
To write your Android application, first copy the gcm.jar file from
the SDK's gcm-client/dist directory to your application classpath.
I got the gcm.jar from the dist folder. Now how do I put it into my classpath using Eclipse(I think that would be easier)? And where would I make changes if I didnt have Eclipse?

As of rev 17 of the Android Developer Tools, the correct way to add a library jar when.using the tools and Eclipse is to create a directory called libs on the same level as your src and assets directories and then drop the jar in there. Nothing else.required, the tools take care of all the rest for you automatically.
Right click on the project in which you want to put jar file. A window will open like this
Click on the AddExternal Jars there you can give the path to that jar file
First copy your jar file and paste into you Android project's libs folder.
Now right click on newly added (Pasted) jar file and select option
Build Path -> Add to build path
Now you added jar file will get displayed under Referenced Libraries. Again right click on it and select option
Build Path -> Configure Build path
A new window will get appeared.
Select Java Build Path from left menu panel and then select Order and export
Enable check on added jar file.
Now run your project.
More details #
Add-JARs-to-Project-Build-Paths-in-Eclipse-(Java)
Right click your project in eclipse, build path -> add external jars.
In your Android Developer Tools , From the SDK Manager, install Extras > Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library . After the installation is complete restart your SDK.Then navigate to sdk\extras\google\gcm\gcm-client\dist .
there will be your gcm.jar file.

Getting started with Java using Eclipse

I just heard of library for reading/writing excel files without COM, so I figured I'd go check it out.
I downloaded jexcelapi_2_6_12.zip from this page http://sourceforge.net/projects/jexcelapi/files/ but I have no idea how to open it in Eclipse.
I know it's a silly question, but I'm sure it's not the first time someone's asked it, how do I open this in Eclipse in Windows, compile, run and debug it?
Primarily what you need from that zip is the jar which contains the library. You'll still need to actually write a Java app that uses it.
So what you need to do is:
Unzip the file you downloaded
create a new java project
add a lib directory to the project
copy jxl.jar from the zip into your projects lib directory
right click on the jar in eclipse and select "Build Path>Add to build path"
The classes in the library are now available to your project
Next create a new java file in your projects source folder and start coding.
Extract the zip file somewhere, put the jar file in your project's directory somewhere (e.g. under a lib directory) and then right-click on it and select "Add to build path" or something similar.
It's not runnable on its own though - you'll need to write some code in order to debug.
If you want to debug into the source code of the library itself, you'll need to tell Eclipse where the source is - but that's unlikely to be necessary.
