How to add third party java libraries to java

Question

Here is a third party library that I want to use. https://github.com/encog/encog-java-core

I want to use the library in my project.

How do I install or add the library to my class path, so I can run my code via the command line without any problems.

Answer 1

For version 3.3.0:

• Go to https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.encog/encog-core as mentioned above.
• Click download JAR.
• Copy the downloaded .jar file in to WEB-INF/lib folder in your project.
• Right click on this .jar file -> build path -> add to build path (If you have eclipse, other wise, Google in your IDE documentations)

If you need the 3.4.0, you will need maven.
