[SOLVED] Adding API to a project

Ypsilon IV · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2009, 05:08 AM

In my project I need to use some API's (say, from facebook or twitter). I have downloaded their API's in .zip format. But the problem is that I got stuck because I don't get how to add them to my project. Some people refer to class paths, but still I don't get it. Could someone give me a hint?

You have to add the external libraries(API) in the class path first of all and then import them in your application. So where you stuck with? Adding libraries to the class path?

Yes, adding libraries was the problem. Finally found out that I have to create "lib" folder in project directory and put API there, everything worked out.
Thanks a lot for you time and help!

Seems you are dealing with NetBeans. Actually most of the IDEs do all the classpath stuff and so on for you.
