I have 2 external jars and I have checked them; the contain the classes that I want to import and use, but for some reason the eclipse editor still has my references underlined in red. What am I doing wrong?

Explain what you mean by "I have checked them". Do you mean that you've
used Build Path to integrate them into your project?

Incidentally, you'll likely be sorry to have integrated them using the
Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External JARs button. This puts
computer-specific paths into the .classpath file. Sharing your project
with someone else (committing it to a version-control system, etc.) will
be a disaster. Always integrate your libraries (JAR) dependencies using
Maven, Ivy, Gradle or, if not using those, make a lib subdirectory in
your project, move copies of the JARs there, then integrate using Build
Path -> Libraries -> Add JARs.

This may give you enough information to proceed or, I hope, enough
information to see what Eric's asking about in your project.

Cheers

Is it fixed with adding jar files under lib directory and referencing it again. I too tried the same, but it doesn't work for me.

Can anyone help me pls ?

Are the classes in the jar matched, from the top level, with the directory structure in the jar? e.g. com.example.MyClass would need to be in com/example/MyClass.class with the "com" directory being at the top level of the jar, not contained in something else.

No luck yet.

I created a sub-folder 'lib' underneath the project folder and copied the external JAR files in there ( related to JSON ). Still getting an error "The type org.json.JSONArray is not accessible" with the red cross mark in Eclipse IDE. This is after adding the JAR files via 'Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries -> classpath -> External JAR files...". Screenshot attached herewith.

I will attempt to created a Maven project in the meanwhile.

Any support to resolve this issue will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
