But now, I don't know how to install it. If someone can guide me..

Answer 1

If you downloaded JDOM jar file, then simply include it to your java project in IDE. If you use IntelliJ IDEA, then follow these steps:

1. File > Project Structure > Libraries > New Project Library > Java
2. Find your jar file
3. Add it to your project

If you use Maven, then you can add this code to your pom.xml :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jdom</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdom</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

You can view all available versions on Maven Central .

If you use Eclipse IDE, then follow these steps :

1. Right click on your project > Build Path > Configure Build Path > Add external JARs
2. Select your JAR
3. Apply and save
