I am trying to use the GeoTIFF-jai Library to generate a geo-rectified, raster image in Java. I have tried looking on the SourceForge site for the documentation on how to do this, but SourceForge says "Unfortunately, this project hasn't indicated the best way to get help." Has anyone else tried using this library and been able to find any documentation on it?
If there truly is no documentation, maybe you can answer this question. When I import the library .jar file into my Eclipse project (using right-click->Import...->Archive File) all of the .properties files import but not the .class files. I need the GeoTIFFFactory class from org.geotiff.images.jai in order to create a new GeoTIFF image but it's not available. Any idea why the .class files are not importing? Am I doing something wrong on the import? Is the .jar in the wrong directory?
Any help with either of these questions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Yes. That's not how you use third-party jars in Eclipse. The wizard you invoked is used primarily for importing archives with source code to make changes to them. Instead create Java project to hold your source code and add a dependency on the jar via Project Properties -> Java Build Path. You can also attach a source code archive in the same place (get this from project's site on SourceForge). This will let you see any available javadoc and if there is no documentation at all, you can at least step through the code.
Regarding lack of documentation, you will be more likely to get help on that project's forum rather than on stack-overflow (since the odds of you finding help on stack-overflow with a particular library is inversely proportional to that library's popularity).

this may sound like a noob question, but it is a big problem for me. I have a file called yandex-translator-java-api-master.zip, and I tried adding that as an external JAR to my eclipse project, but the code wouldn't work; It wouldn't let me import.
This error comes up when i try to import "Translate"
Translate cannot be resolved
6 quick fixes available:
Create class, create constant, fix proj. setup...etc, etc.
How do i use this??? Where is the .jar i am supposed to import?
zip archive is not the same thing as jar. First, extract jar from zip archive and then add it as dependency. Then you'll be able to import.
UPD:
looking closely, I suppose you downloaded that archive from GitHub (or another VCS) and it's just sources of a library. You can not add it as a dependency, but you can, for example, just paste this code in your project's /src/main/. This is an easy solution. If you want to make things the right way, you can
a) Search for a compiled library
b) Create a module from downloaded sources and add it as dependency
Download this file:
And established it as a library.
Instruction is in this answer.
I'm attempting to make use of this code so I can have an easy to add in date picker. However the only guide I can find asks me to import a jar file, which is not in the ZIP.
I assume there is another method via Build Path in Eclipse to make use of this code, but I can't read anywhere on how to successfully import it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Get the ZIP from here, not GitHub, that's step 1 of the tutorial. That ZIP contains the jar you're looking for. Then add it to your project in Eclipse as described here.
I've been so frustrated, I can't even begin writing my plugin because I'm having such problems getting a simple testcase to compile.
I followed the guide on IDEAs website to add the library, which seemed to be successful because IntelliSense detects the packages/classes, but then I come to compile.. and package not found
Here's a screenshot: any advice is greatly appreciated thanks.
As you can see, it appears to be picking up the lib in the IDE (detecting package/classes/methods etc.)
It seems you told IntelliJ that the library was the zip file containing all the distribution (sources, documentation, etc.). Extract the zip file, and make it point to the jar file that this zip probably contains.
I am trying to write a program in Java, which would collect a specified set of files from the physical location and place them in a jar in a certain directory.
I know I can use java.util.jar package for this. The package is great for sure, but I was wondering if there are any third party libraries that anyone at SO has used which they could recommend.
TL;DR: pick up files, create jar by placing them in pre-defined directories, all at run time in a java file.
P.S: I did not find any similar references to this question, but if there are then please refer me. Also, the title might be misleading, but I didn't find better words to explain my problem.
EDIT 1: I am not in anyway saying java.util.jar is bad or incomplete. All I am asking is if anyone has used any alternative solutions!
EDIT 2: I am trying to create the jar from inside the java program. The jar can be pretty big (~500mb) too. Trying to jar media files as well. So simply put, I pick up various files from certain locations on my drive and try to create a jar file by placing them in standard locations.
Thanks,

Look at the java.util.zip package. Jars are just zip files with some extra stuff in 'em
I'm working on a java android project. this project requires to use specific commands.
these commands are all developed in c++/c but I've been given two files (.jar and .so) that are supposed to "turn them into" java, so I can use them in my java android project.
The thing is, what am I supposed to do with these 2 files?? I've read a lot of stuff (mostly about creating the .jar and .so, but I don't care about this step, for I already have the 2 files)
I tried to import the .jar (import external lib), I tried to add the .so via the static loading :
//static {
// System.loadLibrary("MySoFile");
// }
All I get is a stack overflow error or a problem with the DEX file...
Has anybody ever tried to do this??
I don't seem to get the point here...all I want to do is being able to use the commands in the .jar file.... ://
thanks in advance!!
Take a look at this answer about adding jar files. '.so' files can usually just be drag and dropped to the project.
All you need to do is make sure the jar is in your classpath and you can then access the classes within this jar. A jar is just an archive of classes, you don't need to load the library into memory or something similar.
