Install MongoDb Driver in Netbeans

Question

I have installed the MongoDb Plugin in NetBeans.

I found the quickstart guide here: http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/2.13/getting-started/quick-tour/

When I try to use the imports NetBeans can not find them. In Visual Studio I would just use the NuGet Package manager. What do I have to do in NetBeans?

The dependencies XML where would that go?

Answer 1

Have you included the external JARs in NetBeans?

Hover your mouse pointer over your desired project name, and right-click . Select Properties > Libraries (found under Categories section) > Add JAR/Folder .

From the file chooser, specify the location of the JARs you downloaded, and click on Add .

Close the Properties Dialog Box, and expand the Libraries node under your project. You should be able to see the imported JARs.

Also, if you're downloading the mongodb-driver-3.xxjar file, you also need to download the bson-3.xxjar and mongodb-driver-core-3.xxjar files, and import all three in NetBeans.

I had the same issue, and had to beat my head over it for a long time. Hope my experience can help you with your issue.

PS: The version of MongoDB driver you're using is quite outdated, and the usage syntax might be deprecated in future versions.
