Using Existing JAR in source code 2

[k4ghg]

Hi

I found a JAR file that includes classes that I need for my project. How can I use/incorporate an existing JAR into my code? Do I need to extract all the files and then recompile them or can I get by with some simple import function?

Thanks Ronnie

add the jar into your classpath
then import the package

 

[sedj]

on windows :

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\java\myjar.jar

or unix :

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/myjar.jar

 

[sedj]

and of course import the relevant classes :

import com.acme.stuff.*;
