How to import jar as a project in eclipse

In this article, I am going to show how to import jar as a project in eclipse. In real-time, we need to do decompile the entire jar file, for this, we can use java de-compiler but in which we can’t navigate from one file to another file. So to achieve this in eclipse, we have one plugin i.e Import Jar As Project 1.0.0.

Install Import Jar As Project Plugin in Eclipse

1. Java should be installed
2. Eclipse should be installed

Open the eclipse,

Help –> Eclipse Marketplace

 

in the search, type import jar as project, and hit the enter button.

 

Already the plugin installed in my system, if not installed already, it will show install, so click on install to install the plugin.

Click on Next and Finish, accept the license and click on anyway if the certificate issue. After installation, restart the eclipse to reflect the plugin.
