The libraries that are required for the LEADTOOLS Java implementations are located in the following default file path:
C:\LEADTOOLS 20\Bin\Java

Once you have your workstation open and a project setup to begin working on, you will need to add Referenced Libraries to the project from the LEADTOOLS file folder
These can be found in the Package Explorer

To add these existing .jar files you can go through >> File >> Properties

Once opened the Properties page will look like the image below and provide a tree path for navigation on the left
You will need to select >> Java Build Path >> Classpath >> Add External JARs...

Once there, select the file path location for the LEADTOOLS .jar files and select any needed for the functionality being incorporated into your application

In addition to these needing to be included into the project, you will need to programmatically reference some of the libraries being used.

For Example:

Java

Code:

try{
		Platform.setLibPath("C:\\LEADTOOLS 20\\Bin\\CDLL\\x64");
			
		Platform.loadLibrary(LTLibrary.LEADTOOLS);
		Platform.loadLibrary(LTLibrary.DOCUMENT_WRITER);

}catch (Exception ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace();
		}
