| Adding a JAR file to the build path |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| You can add a JAR file stored either in the workbench or anywhere in your file system to the build class path. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To add a JAR to your build class path follow these steps: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select the project, and from its pop-up menu, select <strong>Properties</strong>. |
| In the Properties dialog, select the <strong>Java Build Path</strong> page.<br> |
| Click the <strong>Libraries</strong> tab.<br> |
| You can now either add a JAR file which is contained in your workspace or which is somewhere else: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| to add a JAR file which is inside your workspace click the <strong>Add JARs</strong> button |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| to add an external JAR file click the <strong>Add External JARs</strong> button |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the dialog that appears, select the JAR file that you want to add. |
| Note that you can add multiple JARs at once.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| Alternatively, to add an external JAR to your build class path follow these steps: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select the project, and from its pop-up menu, select <strong>Build Path > Add external archives</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the dialog that appears, select the JAR file that you want to add. |
