Adding an external jar library to Intellij IDEA - configuration

I'm having a silly problem : I'm trying to add the Jsoup library (which is just an external jar) to my android application developed in Intellij Idea and it seems and don't do it right .
I put the library in the libs folder , then I went in Project Structure -> modules and selected dependencies , select add global library , select attach source and click ok.
When I write code it is able to automatically import classes and to compile , but when running I get " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.jsoup.Jsoup"


Copy the .jar file into your lib/ directory.
Right click the new .jar in the lefthand file browser in IntelliJ / Android Studio
Choose "Add as Library..."
Voila!


-Open the External Libraries node on the Left hand panel.
-Select Open Library Settings
-Project structure dialogue opens up.
Select the Libraries.
Click the "+" to browse the file.
![add external jar1


In IntelliJ IDEA 15 you can also access the Project Structure menu item from "File" item in the menu bar. Select Libraries from the list on the left. Click the "+" to browse the file, select it and you're done. It will be added to the "External Libraries" directory in your project.


Have a look at the newer artifacts section. Perhaps you don't add the JAR into your deployment properly.
UPDATE:
I'd like to update my answer based on lessons learned over the past six years since I first answered this question.
The best way to manage 3rd party JAR dependencies in Java projects is to learn Maven (my preference) or Gradle. IntelliJ has terrific integration with both.
If you combine those with an enterprise repository like Nexus you'll have no problems. Your dependencies and versions will be completely specified. Conflicts will be identified for you. Updates will be relatively simple.

Android Studio Gradle error: Missing project_info object

basically opening this question again because the answer is outdated, as the link now redirects to Firebase:
Gradle fails building with "Missing project_info object"
I want to attach the google-services.json file to my Android Studio project, and every time I try to download it from the developers API from Google, it gives me a json file with a large name that does't correspond to the tutorial's simple "google-services" and renaming it won't work because of this error.
Downloading it creating a new project doesn't seem possible for me now as it the page gives me another error when I click Configure a Project (I already did that before but left the project there without downloading the json file directly from there, which seems to be the problem).
Where can I safely get this file, and should I rename it or? Thanks in advance.

Apparently the solution is just following the link and creating the project with Firebase:
Then create or select a project and fill it with your app data that shoul look like this (the SHA-1 key should be found in your console log when clicking the button in the image:
Then add the lines of code that should be in your build.gradle(app level one and project level one), editing them with notepadd. Finally you need to sync these Gradle files, in Android Studio : File->Sync project with Gradle Files
The tutorial is very self explatanory, but for beginners like me, this could help.

Is it possible to get code-hinting in JetBrains WebStorm for a non-core node package?

Is it possible to get code-hinting in JetBrains WebStorm for a non-core node package? Specifically, I'd like to get hinting/completion working for buster. I can't seem to find any information on this. Thanks much!

For buster.js, download buster-test.js and save it somewhere the WebStorm/PyCharm project can see it. Hinting should show up immediately.

WebStorm 2020.1
There's a trick to getting "coding assistance" for 3rd party packages that support community stubs (AKA Typescript definition files):
Open the project's package.json
Position the cursor on the package (within the dependencies section)
Press alt+enter (or click the light bulb)
Choose Install '#types/name' (where name is the dependency)
For example:

Deploy support files from secondary assembly

I'm, porting a phone application written using MVVMCross to Windows RT. The application uses SQLite and has a database that is not empty at deploy so I want it to be packaged in the installation folder anc copied to LacalFolder when the application starts.
The database really belongs to the "Core" assembly shared between phone and WinRT but if I put the file in the Core project (in a custom directory called Data), define it as Content and set the Copy Always flag the file does not get copied to the application installation folder.
If I put the file in a directory under the UI project the file gets copied as expected. Any suggestion to avoid keeping two files for the same resource (and the troubles this will cause) ?
Thanks for help

Windows 8 WinRT projects by default use the Content type which does loose packing of files (they are not included in the assembly). If your Core assembly is part of your solution as a project - VS will properly package it copying all the content to the "Core" subfolder of the appx. If you simply have the dll file referenced in your solution - the resource files will not be packaged. The solution in that case is to do something to get these additional files to deploy with the dll. One option is to package the dll as a .vsix together with the assets as described in Tim Heuer's blog post. Another is to do what you did and put the file in the app project. You can add the file to the app project "As Link" to avoid having a copy of the file - it makes Visual Studio create a sort of logical/symbolic link to the file instead of creating a copy - simply right click a folder in the Solution Explorer/app project, select "Add/Existing Item", browse to the file and instead of hitting the "Add" button - use the dropdown triangle on the button to select "Add As Link".

FDT - Create a Project with existing source files, assets, folders etc

I am using FDT 5 and would like to create a new project with already existing source files and assets. When I start up the Project Wizard (New->FDT Project) I browse to the folder I want to make as the project but I cannot proceed as FDT gives me the error:
*"PROJECT_NAME overlaps the location of another project: PROJECT_NAME"*
I have downloaded a flash project (developed in FDT) and would just simply like to make it a project in my FDT environment.
I mean this shouldn't be so complicated right? I don't want to create an entirely new project (its own folder) I want to use the same folder I downloaded and view that project. I am using git so I have to work in the same path, sort of speak.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Apparently this is an issue with FDT, a small bug. I managed to solve the problem following this:
FDT / Eclipse Error : ‘overlaps the location of another project’

Is it possible to browse the source of OpenJDK online?

Is it possible to browse the source code of OpenJDK online, just like I can do with SourceForge's projects? I never used Mercury before, so I felt confused.
(Note: I don't want to download the source. I just want to browse it online, to see how some methods are implemented.)

OpenJDK is now on GitHub: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk
It is a large project, but you will find the implementations of the core classes under jdk/src/java.base/share/classes.
For instance you can find the implementation of java.util.List here.
If you need to browse older versions, you still need to use the old Mercurial interface.
The Mercurial interface there is quite confusing if you are not used to it, and since this is a large project, it can be hard to find what you are looking for.
Here is an example:
To find the JDK6 implementation java.util.List, select jdk6, jdk, select browse. Then browse to src/share/classes/java/util/List.java.
You should end up at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/file/tip/src/share/classes/java/util/List.java

The latest JDK 8 OpenJDK Java Class Library source code can be found here: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/file/tip/src/share/classes/

Here is the basic step to get latest or any released version of Openjdk 8 (or any existing java version) source code, and use them in Eclipse.
Steps:
[browse source]
Open url for jdk, e.g http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/
click tags
choose proper tag, e.g jdk8u73-b02
then click browse,
then browse into folder src/share/classes,
[download source]
then click one of bz2 / zip / gz, to download source in relevant compressed format, (e.g for jdk8u73-b02 in zip format, the url will be: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/archive/2ab13901d6f1.zip/src/share/classes/)
[use in eclipse]
uncompress it,
zip the folder "classes/", make "classes/" as the root dir of .zip file, (e.g first cd jdk-2ab13901d6f1/src/share/, then zip -r openjdk_8u73_b2_src.zip classes/)
move the created zip file to proper location, it will stay there for a while, (e.g mv openjdk_8u73_b2_src.zip /media/Eric/software/java/jdk/openjdk/openjdk8u73-b02/source/)
in eclipse, specify source file for jars of installed jre, could specify the source attachment for each jar of installed jre respectively, the most common jar is probably rt.jar,
optionally, might need refresh project to make it totally take effect, not sure is that necessary,
test it: in eclipse, ctrl + shift + t, then input Cancellable, select the sun.nio.fs.Cancellable of corresponding installed jre,
if the source code is available, then it's good, because this source is not available in jdk_home/src.zip, it must be from the additional openjdk source,
switch source back: could switch back to use "jdk_home/src.zip", if don't want to use the external openjdk source,
ok

Here's a way to browse the repositories and look at just the bits you want.
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/
Is that what you are asking?

Append a "/file" to the root URLs to view the browser like this:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/file/
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/hotspot/file

Grepcode.com is great for similar things - not only OpenJDK sources, with searching in classes/methods and links between classes directly in highlighted code:
http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/8-b132/java/net/Socket.java

As mentioned in the other answers, the source code repository is at https://hg.openjdk.java.net
However, the OpenJDK team mirrors some of the projects on GitHub: https://github.com/openjdk
Including the latest Java version project (https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk): https://github.com/openjdk/jdk

Surely http://hg.openjdk.java.net is one good option. The other equally good source is zGrepCode https://zgrepcode.com/java/openjdk/ . It has both Open JDK and Oracle java versions.
