Hi,

I am trying to modify xml files and figured jdom is needed.

I am using my laptop.
I have imported jdom-2.0.0.jar to my project's library, but I the classes aren't yet recognized. When I type "org." on the lab's computer, it gives me suggestions, but not on my laptop. I figured I need org jars?.. I am not sure if this is right. If so, could you please hint me on how to get that? If not.. just shoot me some advice.

Thanks,

The Noob

Putting the .jar file in the project isn't enough, it has to be added to
the project's Java Build Path as well. In the Package Explorer or
Project Explorer view, you can do so easily from the .jar file's context
menu.

Thank you. Could you be a bit more clear on how this is done?

Padina,

You can ensure the JAR is in the classpath either by

1. right-clicking the JAR in the project and choosing to add it (what
Nitin means by context menu)

or by

2. right-clicking the project, choosing Build Path -> Configure Build
Path -> Libraries, then adding the JAR by hand (you'll have to navigate
your filesystem to find it).
