How to import existing repository into a Java project using Eclipse?

Question

I am trying to use the repository MySQL . The first instruction in the tutorial tells me to put the repo into my project in my workplace. Then, it tells me I can access it immediately using MySQL as a type, like other objects and what not. However, it seems that I cannot access the repo what-so-ever.

What is the correct way to go about importing a repository into my current project?

Answer 1

You have to add it to the classpath, so the JVM knows to look for it.

Right click on the file and select "Add to Build".
