Chris , If your project is a Maven project, look at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sourceforge.jexcelapi/jxl/2.6 (or better still follow the latest version link).
If your project is an Ant project then find the jar and include it in the project libraries. For example, https://www.findjar.com/jar/net/sourceforge/jexcelapi/jxl/2.6/jxl-2.6.jar.html also There is another Java to Excel api see https://poi.apache.org/components/spreadsheet/ that I have used successfully.

Maven-based? Gradle-based? I.e., you either need to provide a project on GitHub so someone can look at it or complete instructions so someone can help you. If no one helps, it means that you haven't provided the info needed for someone to help you.

I am following their advice. Please forgive me. I need to use the jxl library in Netbeans 12 running in Ubuntu 14.04. I have followed the directions available online: * adding the jxl-2.6.jar file to the classpath * placing the jxl-2.6.jar file in the same directory as the source * placing it in a new folder called "+libs" * adding a new library containing it * importing the classes and yet NetBeans is still unable to find the classes in the library, saying "the jxl package does not exist". I haven't found any instructions specifically for Netbeans 12 on linux - please let me know if they exist. It is likely that I'm missing some step in the process, so please mention all the necessary steps after download/extract the zipped .jar file.
