You can pass some parameters at compile time:

javac -classpath lib/bar.jar com/example/Foo.java

In this scenario, your Foo.java class depends on the bar.jar jar.

If you are using a project that does not use any dependency manager, it is quite complicated to work with.

I recommend taking a look at Maven or Gradle . They make it easier when you have external dependencies in the project.
