Question

I am trying to use the Apache Java library SystemUtils to determine the operating system being used. Here is a link:

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/download_lang.cgi

I am using netbeans to create my application. I can not figure out how to use the library. I have tried importing it but it does not seem to be installed. I have tried finding a download and adding that but I am unable to find one.

Could someone please give me some advice on how to get this library working using netbeans?

Cheers

Eef

Answer 1

1. Download the commons-lang-2.5-bin.zip

2. Extract it, and find the commons-lang-2.5.jar

3. Add that jar to the classpath of your project by:

   right click your project > Properties > Libraries > Add Jar/Folder
