| Adding a JAR file as a library |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| To add a JAR file as a library, you can either drag and drop the JAR file into the workbench from the file system or you can use the Import wizard to import the file. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| From the workbench menu bar, select <strong>File</strong> > <strong>Import</strong>. The Import wizard opens |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select <strong>File System</strong>, then click <strong>Next</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>From directory</strong> field, type or browse to select the directory where the JAR file resides. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the import selection panes, expand the hierarchy and use the buttons to select the JAR file you want to import. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>Into folder</strong> field, type or browse to select a workbench container for the JAR file. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Finish</strong> when you are done. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| You now must add the JAR file to the build class path of any projects that need this library. |
| </li> |
