Netbeans - Using a Library

Right click on the project in the project explorer window, choose "Properties". In the treeview go to "Libraries & Resources". There you can choose to add other projects, folders, jar/zip files or installed libraries.

Ok,

So I added a new folder called libs, and extract the 3 files to that folder. Then I added the folder to the project properties as an additional library (as you described).

However, now when I compile I get this error:


I've noticed, in my little experience with Java over the last week, that it seems like the file needs to have the same name as the class it contains, and not doing so gives an error like this. As far as I can tell from the documentation for this library, the class name is MathFP and the file is MathFP.class.

I'll keep trying some different stuff, but any help would be fantastic!

Ok found my answer on another forum. For any who runs into the same problem here is the answer:

Quote:

extract the MathFP.class from the file downloaded. Then create a dir net/jscience/util then paste the extracted MathFP.class then zip it as MathFP.zip then create lib folder on the Project Directory then paste the MathFP.zip in the lib folder. Open Project Properties, Libraries and Resources then ADD JAR/ZIP. that's it... import it as "import net.jscience.util.MathFP"...

The entire thread (which deals with a few other IDEs and such, can be found here.
