Adding third party libraries into the Talend project

Question

Can someone suggest, how to add 3^rd party libraries into a Talend Project? Also, when I am trying to use LogFactory with tSetGlobalVar, it is throwing the following exception: 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory

    at ...

Please suggest, how to remove this kind of exception using existing logging library.

Answer 1

You can add the 3^rd party libraries in two ways:

1.  With the latest release of Talend, they have deprecated the use of User libraries. So, now will have to make use of modules by downloading and installing them.  To add modules, go to: Window > Show View > Talend > Modules.

All the external or 3^rd party libraries can be easily managed from this window.

2. Another way to add 3^rd party libraries is by using tLibraryLoad component in your job.

In order to remove the log exception, go to your Talend install path and look for the plugins directory. In this folder look for the apache logging jar files. Sometimes, because of this, you might get an exception.

Hope this helps!!
