Package org.joda.time does not exist

Question

This is the very first time I try to import a third party *.jar into my project. I'm using Netbeans 7.0.1

Besides the usual project structure the following are inside the Source Packages folder:

Appointments 
|
 - MyDate.java
 - Run.java
 - joda-time-2.0.jar
    - org
      |
       - ...

Attempt at importing the Joda Time gives me: package org.joda.time does not exist

import org.joda.time.*;

What am I missing?

Solution 1

You have to add joda-time-2.0.jar via project library. (Project + Libraries (Right mouse click) + Add Jar/Folder)

Solution 2

You need to check that "joda-time-2.0.jar" is added to your classpath. If it is then check that it really contains the package mentioned.
