jakarta..how does it work?

[Eridano]

Hi folks.

I installed recently j2sdk1.4.2 (with netbeans 3.5) in my pc (the
directory is
"C:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2") and after, I asked how to
create http client, I download jakarta (HttpClient). I unzip ... it
created a directory "\commons-httpclient-2.0-beta2". I put this
directory into the "C:\Program
Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\commons-httpclient-2.0-beta2"..I opened
ClientApp.java (it's a sample for use of jakarta) and during the
compilation Netbeans (java) displaied the following error messages :

ClientApp.java [85:1] package org.apache.commons.httpclient does not
exist
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
^
So, where I have to put the jakarta directory or what have I to do to
continue?

You need to place the directory into the classpath.

First, don't put third party pacakages into the JDK directory. Just a matter
of style. Put them into their own directory. But that is not the problem.

There should be a jar called http-client.jar (or something very similar to
that.) That file needs to placed on the class path. I don't use netbeans,
but there should be a way to load jar files into your project. Once you load
that jar file into the project, then you should be ready.

Isnt something like this treated exactly like an extension?
