How to import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient

Question

In Eclipse, the following import...

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;

...produces the following error message...

The import org.apache cannot be resolved

I do not know how to import, nor where to download the import (if necessary). I might need a click-by-click set of Eclipse directions to resolve this.

Answer 2

Here's the official Apache download site for Commons Net.

Once you've picked and extracted the appropriate version, set a dependency in your Eclipse project:

• Right-click the project and choose "Properties"
• Choose "Java Build Path" from the resulting popup
• Set up the dependency in the "Libraries" tab.

The dependency does not need to be local to your project, but may be.

If you'd like a project-relative library, drop the jar into an appropriate project-relative location. For project libraries, choose "Add Jars" in the "Libraries" tab; for external libraries, choose "Add External Jars".
