How do you "install" Simple in eclipse?

How do I use simple in eclipse? Do I add it to the JDK?

http://simple.sourceforge.net The web site seem to have allot of info on using the methods but little on setting 开发者_JAVA技巧up the library.

I have used C and C++ to set up external libraries before but the Java set up confuses me.

Thank you!

In java world, in order to be able to use third party libraries, what you need to do is to add them to your project/application's CLASSPATH. In case of Simple, its library file is simple-xml-2.4.1.jar that is located inside a folder "jar" within the simple-xml-2.4.1.zip that you would download from Sourceforge.

• Download and unzip the simple-xml-2.4.1 Archive. (ZIP file). Note that it has a Jar folder that contains simple-xml-2.4.1.jar - that is the library eclipse and other IDES would use to set up the CLASSPATH

• Goto your project in project explorer.

• Right-click on the project name and select "Properties". Alternately, you can click on the project name and type "Alt+Enter". A window will pop-up.

• In the window, select "Java Build Path". You will see several tabs, including "Source", "Projects" and "Libraries".

• To add simple-xml-2.4.1.jar to your project, click on the "Libraries" tab. From there, you can add either internal jars or external jars. The "Add External Jar" would be to add a jar that's on your computer somewhere . So choose that button, browse to where simple-xml-2.4.1.jar is located and make sure to add it to your build path
