Package Does Not Exist on NetBeans

843841Jan 11 2007
Hi

I have just downloaded commons-dbcp-1.2.1 and have had trouble trying to integrate it into NetBeans so that my code will complie.

I have tried several things to try and make this work firstly I placed the JAR file in to my java instalations lib folder, and then set the classpath environment variable to include this, this however did not work.

I then went into Netbeans and discoved under tools something called Library Manager, I created a new Library called DBCP and added links to the classpath sources and java docs, still it does not work.

Finally I searched around a bit more and tried doing the same using the Java Platform Manager under the Tools menu, still no luck

The error I am getting is as follows and occurs on the import statements
package org.apache.commons.dbcp does not exist
The following is the import statements I am using
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.ConnectionFactory;
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.DriverManagerConnectionFactory;
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory;
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource;
I am using NetBeans 5.5 with Java jdk1.6.0

Anyone out there can tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix this please?... oh and using . completion works while typing the code... just won't compile.
