Hi,

I'm currently developing a project using an extrenal library made up of jars. I have try several methods to add the jars to the project library and they all show up in the libraries folder for the project, but when I view a certain class inside a jar tells me that that source is not contained in the jar. And since the source is not found when I attempt to run the application I gives me a no class def found error. I'm wondering if there is a specific way to import libraries that will get me cast this issue.

Summary
-Source not found, no class def found error because of it
-is there a certain way to import libraries

Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi Chris,

the fact that you do not provide source is not linked to "no class def
found exception". If you have this exception, it is probably because
you have not properly add the jar to yout class path or because the lib
you added has dependencies (you need to add other libraries). Check
dependencies.

You can add lib by right clicking the jar -> Build Path -> add to buil
path. You can manage with source by right clicking project -> build Path
-> Configure build path, then selected libraries Tab and configure
source attachement path of your libraries

hope this help,
frank
