How to bind a jar file in eclipse?

How can I bind a 3rd party library (.jar file) in my java so开发者_运维问答urce? Are there any tutorials for this?

I normally drag-and-drop the jar file in the project (in a suitable folder), and then right click it and select Build path -> Add to build path.

You can now use it in your project.

1. Right click the project in question
2. Point to build path
3. Click "Configure Build Path" in the menu that open
4. Click "Add External JARs" -- find your JAR
5. Click OK

You'll need to package your external JAR with your main application if you distribute it. But that'll at least get you going in Eclipse.
