Hi,

I'm trying to use the javax.mail.* package in a Java-Cocoa app I'm writing, but I can't work out how to add the mail.jar file to the build-time classpath in project builder.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

under Project->Add Files
navigate to select the jar file - click "open" (if its a directory of class files that's okay too)
Another panel shows up - can't remember what is says but no changes or weird options are required, just click "add"
It will be linked into your project (not actually copied or moved there) and some change will be detected/made when you build so that the jar file will be found.
good luck
