I'm new to Java, so bear with me...
I have placed a jfreechart-1.5.0.jar file in a lib folder and wanted to do do some imports like this:
import org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory;
But VS Code is complaining: the import org.jfree cannot be resolved.
One thing I have to mention is, that I have created a copy of the project folder in order to try something. Because it worked, I have deleted the original folder and renamed the copy to the name of the original folder.
But now I have the problem that the imports do not work anymore, even it's the same code. I have "cleaned Java language server workspace" but it didn't help.
Is there anything else I have to do? Is the jar import pointing to a certain path / file?

For Maven project, you can add a dependency by clicking the icon next to Maven Dependencies node in project view.
If your project is an unmanaged folder without any build tools. You can manage the dependencies by clicking the icon or the - icon on the Referenced Libraries node or the items under it.

I had to reference the jar file to the project. Surprisingly the first time it has been referenced automatically, the second time I had to do it manually...
