How did you add the package to your project?Quote:

Here is what I did...
Right Click on Libraries in Project window > ADD Jar/Folder > Select the jidesoft jar file.
Is that JAR file added into that Libraries folder correctly? And also can you tell me what's the JAR file name is?
yup I can see the jar file in my libraries folder (in project window). jar file name is " jide-os-2.7.1"
try to save the jar / lib (for the Library) on your hard disk and the static path (it means if you put your .jar library to F:/Java/Projects/lib -> then stay in there, don't move it)
hope it works
That doesn't make much sense.Quote:

Your jar file name is jide-os-2.7.1, and you import it as com.... something. It cannot happen, in import have to use the same file name.Quote:

The jar file name has nothing to do with the imports.
I'm not clear what you are talking about. Just add a jar file in the NetBeans and if you can call it with a different name. You cannot do that.
Then read my post above again.Quote:

Okay, say I added a jar file into the classpath, and assume that the name is demo.jar. You say that I can import the package as something,Quote:

is it?
Yes. If the jar file demo.jar contains the package "myjar" the the import will work as well.
It's not jar files which are imported. It's classes and packages inside jar files.
Oh seems we are talking about completely two things here. I'm talking about just a jar file with only class files, not with jar file embedded.Quote:

Oh believe me I have used Netbeans a lot.Quote:

I'll give a try this and see.Quote:
