Import .jar in Visual Studio Code, classpath

Question

I am using Visual Studio Code to Write a Java Project. For that i want to use the MigLayout.jar in my Project.

I created a new Project so i would get a .classpath

Answer 1

I set up a gradle project and added the dependency via the link from https://mvnrepository.com/

I copied the given commands on the MigLayout Site behind the "Gradle" tab and put them into the dependencies{} in the build.grade file

With ./gradlew run from the command line out of the project folder it compiled successfully. Thanks for the help anyways.

PS: I still haven't figured out how to do it without gradle. Even compiling from the command line with: javac -cp "path to jar" myFile i did not get the dependencies right. Let me know if you have experience with that.
