Could not create class error instructions #596
Description
I am trying to use this project with my nodejs project instead of a java project and in my nodejs project I have the basic example code from this project working and it is creating an array list.
But now I would like to include a library / jar from the java project and I am getting an error:
Error: Could not create class ClassFromJavaProjectInJar
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ClassFromJavaProjectInJar
I looked in my Java project and I don't see the libraries. I found out they are in the /user/.m2 directory. This is where Maven caches them.
I saw another post somewhere that someone else solved the issue by copying their libraries and jars into their nodejs project. I could do this. But is there a better way?
I don't believe I need to use Maven for this project but I haven't got that far.
I saw a note about a java-maven package but none of it made sense. I Have one library / jar I want to use and that's it.

Also, as a side note I think this error or this issue should be part of the instructions.
Also, thank you for this project.

Well I think I figured out one way to do it.
I copied the jar into the nodejs project at the root of the project.
Then I added the jar to the class path like so:
Then it seems I can use two methods.
The import method:
The new instance method:
