where t get the org.apache.* type of libraries and to configure them?

Question

My java code uses log4j eg. it tries to import org.apache.log4j.logger , import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils, import org.testng.Assert and many more Is there any common place where i can get them? And also how to configure them too. I downloaded the log4j from apache site but could not configure it properly. Any help will be appreciated!

Answer 1

Hi there - you will kick yourself in a second as the answer is in the question!

To get more information about the org.apache.commons library you need to go to:

http://commons.apache.org/

-- UPDATE --

Re-reading your question I think you were actually asking about org.testng which you can find at:

http://testng.org

Answer 2

add log4j.jar in your classpath

Answer 3

this is where i put the extracted files C:\Program Files\Java\apache-log4j-1.2.15 i.e. inside the java's installtion and gave the classpath as C:\Program Files\Java\apache-log4j-1.2.15\log4j-1.2.15.jar in the existing classpath along with C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\lib; so I made the classpath as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\lib;C:\Program Files\Java\apache-log4j-1.2.15\log4j-1.2.15.jar; like this also. Also tried creating the CLASSPATH as a seperate environment variable(i noted its in a capital letter!) and giving the C:\Program Files\Java\apache-log4j-1.2.15\log4j-1.2.15.jar; value to it. But neither of the approaches worked so far...

If you are not using Maven to automatically download them, you can get them manually from Maven repo. This is a trusted source of jars besides the original project site.
