You should added the library through your IDE not to mess with Java installation. For example in Netbeans from main menu choose Tools >> Java Platforms . Select a platform you want to add resources for example JKD1.6, select Sources tab and click on Add JAR/Folder. Through file chooser you will navigate to the location of the JAR file and select it.

Similar process is available on every IDE that I used so far
