Configure Selenium WebDriver
Now to configure our Eclipse IDE with Selenium WebDriver . In simple terms, we will create a new Java Project in Eclipse and load all the essential JAR files in order to create Selenium files.
Launch Eclipse IDE
Create a new Java Project File -> New -> Java Project
Give Project Name "Demo_test" (always a good practice to have project name in lower case ) and then press "Finish".
It will create a new Java project .
Right click on the "src" folder and create a New Class File New - > Class
Give Class Name as "First " (always have class name starting with Upper case) and then click "Finish"
Now lets add selenium jar files in our project
Right click on the project and select "Properties" and select "Build Path"
Add external Jar files from the download selenium file folder
Add the libraries from the selenium files
Add the other library files from the Libs Folder as well, Apply and close
While completing a new folder "Referenced Libraries" will be created with all the added libraries.
Hence , we have successfully configured Selenium WebDriver in Eclipse IDE.
