[FIXED] How can I add external libraries in jdk-11?

Issue

I want to compile a java code that using servlet with javac command. So I need to add servlet-api.jar into jdk-11 to compile it.

Solution

You don't want to add the servlet-api.jar into the jdk. You want to add the .jar to your classpath.

You can try something like:

javac -cp servlet-api.jar MainClass

You need to specify the full path to you .jar and to your class which contains the main() method
