Cannot add JAR to project [message #1714261]

I am trying to add an external library (JAR) to a project to be able to do some coding, however, I am missing a step or two as I fail to comprehend where to add the library to the project and how to reference it.

This problem occurs with Eclipse IDE release 4.5.1.

An online guide at http://www.wikihow.com/Add-JARs-to-Project-Build-Paths-in-Eclipse-%28Java%29 seems to indicate a procedure for generic use of application developers.

JAR files
I was trying to see if I can use the software at http://www.jidesoft.com/products/download.htm for my machine learning projects.

Other projects that I would like to see samples of include
Datathief
javaml
I am attaching the JAR files as I had downloaded them.

Machine learning available online at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning.

The file err.jpg indicates that not all classes were exposed to public view, can I change this since I only have .class files?

Jonathan,

What kind of project? The fact you have DSL package suggests you're
building plugins. In that case you generally create a folder, e.g.,
libs, copy them into that folder, and edit the MANIFEST.MF to use the
Runtime tab to add that folder to the classpath.
