Here is the link to the web based version of the API library:

Thank you for any help that can be provided.

Hello Khalon!
For an external java library it works like this: Say you've created a project named "myproject". Now you want to use the an external library in that project.
Under "myproject" there are some sub-directories, right click on Libraries directory. Now, a menu appears that offers
Add Project
Add Library
Add jar/folder
Properties
Select Add jar/folder. Now, in your library's file there must be a .jar file. You just have to locate where is this .jar file in the external library's file.
Note: I haven't tried to import html files, maybe you need to select another option.
Hope it helps.

Yes, thank you. I found the jar file I needed.
