title: How do I use API's in Netbeans for JAVA?
body: <p>Ok so there are tonnes of API's out there. I need to use some of them like JIntellitype, iText, docx4j etc. But the problem is I do not know how to go about it in Netbeans.</p>
  
  <p>I tried following the instructions in readme for all these API's but it does not work since there is something I am doing wrong. I am a newbie at JAVA and Netbeans.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>[Update]<br>
  This is what I tried to do.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I downloaded the JIntellitype API. It contains lots of files including JAR,DLL,CPP etc. When viewed through File->Open Project from Netbeans this folder is displayed as a project.</li>
  <li>I created a new JAVA Application project from Netbeans.</li>
  <li>I right clicked the Project->Properties->Library and added the API folder there.</li>
  <li><p>Then I tried importing one of the classes from the API called HotkeyListener as follows:  </p>
  
  <p>import jintellitype.HotkeyListener;</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I received an error saying package does not exist.</p>
