Where libraries' path are stored in intelliJ - java

I have several libraries in my intelliJ and one of them has junit jar. But project is not able to compiled because classes does not see the junit jar, although it is added under libraries.
I solved this problem by adding junit jar to another library and problem solved. But I want to know where is it specified (in which file) that in which library intelliJ is looking?

It depends on your project setup in Idea where they are being stored.
Either is the configuration located within the following folder structure:
.idea
Or within either of these files:
*.iml, *.ipr
^-- these files/folders is located under /path/to/your/project/<file/path>

'Correct the classpath of your application' in a Springboot Configuration in IntelliJ

I have such an application with an IntelliJ-Idea IDE that has a Springboot configuration that errors out and gives the following recommendation:
The following method did not exist:
org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext.setApplicationStartup(Lorg/springframework/core/metrics/ApplicationStartup;)V
The method's class, org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/C:/Users/tlmitch/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context/5.2.8.RELEASE/spring-context-5.2.8.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/context/ConfigurableApplicationContext.class
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext
I'm relatively new to IntelliJ-Idea and Springboot. If this were say Eclipse - I would probably just go to the Java Build Path and add the jar file that contains the class.
I'm less familiar with IntelliJ. So far if something is missing, I've just been running 'npm install' and that usually takes care of it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much
If you've added Spring dependencies in your pom.xml file, they might be conflicting with the Spring dependencies in the lib folder in your project directory. Deleting the lib folder will fix this. (just make sure your project does not depend on other libraries in the lib folder before deleting).
As error suggests:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext
you need to make sure your classpath contains only one such class. You can use Navigate | Class action to see if there are multiple versions of this class exists in project and exclude the duplicated library dependency in Maven pom.xml file.

Difference between Run in eclipse and going to the project folder and using the .jar

I'm trying to find more information on how eclipse handles Running a project.
I want to understand it more because I have an issue I'm currently having where apache-poi .jar files which have been included into the classpath of my project will work properly when the project is ran through eclipse, but will not be detected when going to the same projects folder and running the main jar file to start the program.
It gives me the error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/Cell (although sometimes instead of Cell, it's Sheet)
What could I consult to understand what is going on here, and possibly solve this issue?
Your NoClassDefFoundError indicates that the library was not available while running the jar.
This depends upon how you are exporting your project into the jar file.
If you're using eclipse to do so, you can:
Export->Java->Runnable Jar to create a jar that includes its dependencies
Make sure to check Package required libraries into generated JAR.
This will make all your jars (in build path including apache-poi.jar) as a part of the final jar.
It runs from eclipse because libraries are on the build path of the eclipse which makes them available in the classpath.

Add library into jar of project

My problem is with a project where I use the POI library. It's from apache and allows you to work with excel,word, ... .
I had to add some jar files to my library and it runs perfect.
The problem is when I put my JAR file somewhere else.
It gives me the errors it can't find the librarys.
Is there a way I can put my librarys into the 1 jar?
I already tried to add my lib folder as source package but that didn't help.
there is a Maven plugin for Eclipse called M2Eclipse, which will read a POM and construct a classpath out of jars it finds in the local repository and any remote repositories you've configured. It behaves largely like Maven does in terms of finding the latest version for a given jar (if you've specified a version range in your POM).
You can also have a look on this

You want to make a 'shaded' or 'uber' jar, which has all of its dependencies included
There is a maven plugin for building a shaded jar.
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/
For me the fastest/ easiest solution was to just open my project in eclips and export is a runable JAR then it adds the librarys to the JAR.
NetBeans builds your application into the project's dist folder. There is also a readme file in it, that tells you, you should distribute the contents of that folder...
Edit
Remove the lib folder, that is shown on the second image, from your sources.

Where to put extension dependencies in neo4j 3

Where should I be putting the plugin dependencies in neo4j 3 (not the actual plugin jars).
In neo4j 2 there was a lib folder where the system would load the jars from but this no longer exists.
I've tried putting them in the plugin folder but then it requires me to add every dependency of the jars which becomes unmanageable and it also seems weird to have them there.
I've tried putting them in the neo4j bin directory but they aren't detected.
I've tried adding a command line argument to the vmoptions file with a wildcard pointing to a lib folder I created and this didn't work either.
Use maven shade plugin to package all the dependencies (except that one with scope test or provided) in the jar.
I think the documentation has just been updated (although I may have missed it). It says
Having built your code, the resulting jar file (and any custom dependencies) should be placed in the $NEO4J_SERVER_HOME/plugins directory. We also need to tell Neo4j where to look for the extension by adding some configuration in neo4j.conf:
So it turns out they should go in the plugins folder or you do as Daniela said and build a fat jar.
EDIT: I eventually came to the conclusion for several reasons including this one to use the server edition which has the same directory structure as the version 2.x.

Add python module to JAR classpath in Eclipse

I have a Java project that utilizes Jython to interface with a Python module. With my configuration, the program runs fine, however, when I export the project to a JAR file, I get the following error:
Jar export finished with problems. See details for additional information.
Fat Jar Export: Could not find class-path entry for 'C:Projects/this_project/src/com/company/python/'
When browsing through the generated JAR file with an archive manager, the python module is in fact inside of the JAR, but when I check the manifest, only "." is in the classpath. I can overlook this issue by manually dropping the module into the JAR file after creation, but since the main point of this project is automation, I'd rather be able to configure Eclipse to generate properly configured JAR automatically. Any ideas?
*NOTE*I obviously cannot run the program successfully when I do this, but removing the Python source folder from the classpath in "Run Configurations..." makes the error go away.
Figured it out, had to add the source folder with the Python module in it as a class folder in the Build Path project properties. Not sure if this next part is necessary or not, but since the module is not compiled, I added the folder again as "Attached Source" after adding the class folder.
Have a look at the maven-jython-compile-plugin and its demo project at http://mavenjython.sourceforge.net/ . It allows bundling jython with dependencies into a standalone jar.
