Apache Commons Email install in Eclipse: cannot be resolved

Question

I'm sorry, I do not have enough reputation to comment on others posts, so I have to ask a new Question.

I'm on ubuntu Linux 11.10, and I'm trying to install the Commons Email in eclipse. But the only files I can download is tar.gz and .zip. These cannot be imported with the method described in the other thread, where you add external jars in the projects libraries. I tried to drag the "src" folder into my "src" folder in my project. That gives the error "... cannot be resolved" What am I doing wrong?

I tried that, and that doesn't work. As written, I can't import the src folder, and there is no .jar file included. Luckily @Gray came up with a solution. :) — Strammefar, Dec 06 '11 at 20:38

Extract either the tar.gz or the .zip file from the files listed under "Binaries", and these will contain the .jar file or files that you are looking for.

Unfortunately I could not find it in the tar.gz or .zip files. – Strammefar Dec 06 '11 at 20:35

Just about all of the Apache commons code is also in the central Maven repository which has jar that are easy to import/use.

I just went to the search bar and looked for apache commons email:
