I have eclipse and j developer,I am more comfortable with eclipse.I want to know how to setup the JDBC driver in eclipse,I downloaded a driver from oracle.com but it does not appear anywhere when I browse after clicking ‘external jars’ in ‘java build path’ in “libraries” tab. My database is Oracle express edition.
Are there any good pdf’s or tutorials for java application development?I want to make a front end application where I enter data into fields and it inserts into DB,and make it such that we can also retrieve information when we enter for example an ID.
What are the materials required for this?I don’t want to learn too deep but I want to learn in the process(this is not a project just something I wanna achieve this month) so I am guessing i need
1. a book on awt,swing classes
2. I need to set this JDBC thing I don’t understand how to get it up and running in eclipse,i type code it gives me error.
3.a book on how to connect java to oracle express edition DB.
I have JDK 1.7.0.0.3
Thanks in advance(i’m a beginner ;))
If you’re wanting to include a JAR file to your Eclipse project, you would generally create a ‘lib’ folder inside the project folder, and put the file in there. You then need to tell eclipse to include it in your class path so your code will compile and run inside eclipse.
To do that:
– Go into the properties of your project
– Select ‘Java Build Path’ in the left hand column
– Select the ‘Libraries’ tab in the centre part of the window
– Click the Add JARs button – this will give you a list of your projects in eclipse – expand your project and into the lib folder – your jar will be there.
– Select the JAR, click OK, and OK again out of the properties window.
Or, you can just right-click the jar and click BuildPath->Add to Build Path.
