How to import Jackcess and its dependencies into Eclipse?

Question

I am trying to install Jackcess because I am developing a web app that is going to store information in an Access database.

I've tried downloading multiple .jar files that all appear to be the ones i need (apache-commons-lang and apache-commons-logging) but after adding them to the build path i continue getting the same ClassNotFoundException.

The exception went away for the jackcess missing class but after repeating the process for the others I am still getting the same problem. Any help or direction to where i can download the correct versions of these .jars would be greatly appreciated.

Are they being compiled into the jar correctly and/or in build path? Is it a compile time or runtime exception? Where are you currently getting the jars from? — James Conway, Jun 14 '19 at 19:19
@JamesConway im getting them here http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/a/Downloadapachecommonsloggingjar.htm and i have no reason to believe they arent compiling correctly — Gpsy, Jun 17 '19 at 11:48

Jackcess depends on specific versions of two Apache libraries. As documented on the Jackcess dependencies page, for Jackcess 3.0.1 you need to provide

commons-logging version 1.2 (link), and
commons-lang3 version 3.8.1 (link)

How do I get the .zip or .tar.gz files into .jar form ? I downloaded and extracted them but I'm not sure what to do now – Gpsy Jun 18 '19 at 12:18
@Gpsy - I have added links for the jar files. – Gord Thompson Jun 18 '19 at 12:52
