*URGENT* importing third party package into Jdev project

Question

hi,
our company has bought a thrid party package instead of developing one to speed up the project pace. Some how we cannot import the package into our project environment,
this is what we do with the package.
set the class path to where the *.jar files are, for example: C:\AccBank\beta\creditcheck.jar
please note that the "C:\AccBank\beta\" is where the project file locates.
and follow is the import statement
import thirdparty.package1.*;
please tell us what did we do wrong, if the case in question is not clear, please tell us the steps we need to do to import and use a third party package with JDev.
Also, please tell me the different purpose between the directory :
PROJECTFILES and CLASSFILES under the main project directory
Thank you very much for your time and your help

Hello,
I'm not sure about what you mean,
but in order to use a given package within JDevelopper, you should:
- select project/project properties,
- find the libraries tab
- click "add", then "new"
- click "class path"
- click "add ZIP/JAR" and add the various jar files you want to include
Note: if the included libraries contain subpackages of packages like javax, and you want to deploy your project (as EJB for instance) you will have to edit the deployment profiles in order to add the 3rd party libraries, otherwise, these subpackages won't be deployed (by default, packages suvh as java.lang, javax etc.. are not excluded from the deployment).
about the PROJECTFILES and CLASSFILES items, they refer to the directories in which your project's source code (PROJECTFILES) and compiled classes (CLASSFILES) are stored
Hope this helps, Remi
