Most of the java libraries are usually packaged as jar files. In this article, am going to illustrate how to add jar file in NetBeans IDE. A while ago I did step by step tutorial on how to add jar files in Eclipse IDE; we are going to apply the same concept for NetBeans, but differently.

To add a Jar file to Apache’s NetBeans IDE, follow the following steps

Right Click on your Project folder
Navigate to Properties
On the popup window, select Libraries
Click add Add Jar/folder
Click Ok and you are good to go
