You can add the jar file to Netbeans as an external library by choosing 'Tools' on the menu bar and then selecting 'Library Manager'. In there you can give it a name and the path to the jar file. Once it is setup, if you go to your project properties, and click the 'Libraries' option on the left you will be able to add it. Select 'Add Library' and choose the one that you just created, it will now be part of your project.



Alternatively, if you don't want to set it up as a library in Netbaeans, go straight to the project properties, select 'Libraries' and then select the 'Add Jar/Folder' option, now you can navigate to your jar file and add it to your project.


Hope this helps
