Use external project in JSP

Question

I downloaded a project from Google Code named 'mp4parser'.

Now I want to use it in my JSP page (specifically in a servlet). How do I import it?

I use Netbeans.

In my project's properties I added a Library (Add JAR/Folder).

Then, in my servlet code I wrote

import com.googlecode.mp4parser.*;

But I get an error 'package don't exist'.

SOLVED

First I had to compile the mp4parser project, and then MANUALLY indicate the JAR file. Netbeans couldn't find it on its own.

if i am correct they provide jar for download, have a look at there page to add dependencies using maven,what all is there in your downloaded files? — Umesh Awasthi, Sep 05 '12 at 09:08

So you get compile time error ? The only problem that is happeing is your Jar is not in the Build Path. Please check How to add jar in netbeans

You should create jar of the project you downloaded and the add it to the class path and then you will be able to use it.
