Prepare ZXing jar on Netbeans

Before we can use ZXing to create QR Code, we have to download, create and add library in Netbeans IDE.

Visit Official ZXing ("Zebra Crossing") project home, If you just need a pre-built JAR file, you can always find compiled resources from the Maven release repository, including recent snapshot/nightly builds.

Download the latest jars, core-3.1.0.jar and core-3.1.0-javadoc.jar in this example.

Then you have to create and add the downloaded zxing library in Netbeans.

This video show how:

QRCode generator on JavaFX, using ZXing

This example show how to generate QR Code using ZXing, an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java, with ports to other languages.

Before enter the code, you have to download, create and add the ZXing jars in Netbeans IDE.
