I got this error while compiling a program. I have downloaded the codec needed, i just need to know which folder to add it to.

package org.apache.commons.codec.binary does not exist

I am compiling the program from console.

You should be alright with any location, as long as you add the Apache commons implementation .jar to the java or javaw classpath. Or in any location where one of your active ClassLoader instances can find it anyway.

  • You could also add it to the `ext` folder of your JRE, but that is considered bad practice, as you may introduce conflicts with other programs that have compiled against another version of the same. – Maarten Bodewes Jul 13 '14 at 00:35
