How to import jar file in vs code

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I'm pretty new to Java and I'm trying to figure out how to import external libraries into my project. I'm using visual studio code for my project.

More specifically I'm trying to use joinery.

But I'm having trouble importing it.

Any help would be great, thanks!

What I have tried:

Following the visual studio code docs I first downloaded joinery and then went to Reference Library in vs code, I tried selecting the jar file but it didn't seem to let me select it and when I clicked select jar file nothing happened.

I'm also getting this error when I try to open the jar file:

Quote:
joinery-dataframe-1.9-jar-with-dependencies.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Given you have followed VSCode docs[^], would lean on jar being marked unsafe the reason here.

If using windows:

Right click on it and go properties, then select permissions and check "Allow executing file as program"

If using Mac, in terminal:

PERL

sudo chmod +x /home/xxxx/Downloads/joinery-dataframe-1.9-jar

Ps: Be sure to make sure you got it from a trusted source.

OR

for any OS, try in terminal/cmd:

PERL

java -jar /home/xxxx/Downloads/joinery-dataframe-1.9-jar

You can also do it manually if for some reason GUI is still not allowing (like this reported issue[^]):
1. Open .vscode/settings.json file (if not present, you can create one)
2. add required jar file there as shown below. (mostly all the jar files present in lib directory will be included + your new jar located outside the project directory)

JavaScript

{
    "java.project.referencedLibraries": [
        "lib/**/*.jar",
        "/home/xxxx/Downloads/joinery-dataframe-1.9-jar"
    ]
}
