title: How to import and use Jasypt - Java Library
body: <p>I'm trying to use <a href="http://www.jasypt.org/" rel="nofollow">"Jasypt"</a> in my Java project, but I'm having some troubles. I'm using NetBeans IDE. </p>
  
  <p>I download <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasypt/files/jasypt/jasypt%201.9.0/jasypt-1.9.0-dist.zip/download" rel="nofollow">this</a> file, then I <strong>right clicked on my project -> Properties -> Library -> Add Jar/Folder</strong>. So, I add the folder of Jasypt (uncompressed, called "jasypt-1.9.0"). </p>
  
  <p>I can see the Jasypt folder in my project now, but when I try to use it, I have troubles. When I try to instantiate the "BasicPasswordEncryptor" (following my code) I got an error. </p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.jasypt.util.text.BasicPasswordEncryptor;
  
  public class GerenciarConexao {
  
      public boolean Login(String nome, String senha){
  
          BasicPasswordEncryptor passwordEncryptor = new BasicPasswordEncryptor();
          // (later will add the code)
          return true;
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the "inline error":</p>
  
  <pre><code>package org.jasypt.util.text does not exist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>If I tr to build my project, I got the following error:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\silvio\Documents\NetBeansProjects\LocusView\src\control\GerenciarConexao.java:6: error: package org.jasypt.util.text does not exist

  <p>About this import, I don't know why is this path, I just find a question about Jasypt in StackOverflow and copy/paste the import to my project - I didn't find a easy guide that tell me how to install/use the Jasypt. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks friends, waiting for answers - and sorry about my nonsense. </p>
