How to properly add a jar library to a module programmatically? Follow

I'm currently trying to add a third party jar to my module programatically. So far, adding the library works, I can see it under the "External Libraries" in the project, the code I'm using is

  private def createLibraryEntry(rootModel : ModifiableRootModel, jarFile : VirtualFile, name : String) : Library = {
    val libraryTable = rootModel.getModuleLibraryTable
    val libraryTableModel = libraryTable.getModifiableModel
    val library = libraryTableModel.createLibrary(name)
    val libraryModel = library.getModifiableModel
    libraryModel.addRoot(jarFile, OrderRootType.CLASSES)
    libraryModel.commit()
    libraryTableModel.commit()
    library
  }

Later on in a readWriteAction I also call rootModel.commit(). However, despite being visible under the "External Libraries", nothing else happens, put it another way: the library is there and seems to be added to the module but i cannot access the classes and the like. Also, I cannot not see a dedicated entry for my library in the Libraries entry in the Module Settings (although I do not know whether an entry must be there or not). Anyway, can anybody help me with this problem?


Update: what i clarified, the entry in the Libraries section of the Module Settings is not necessary. And what I also realized, under "External Libraries", it shows my library with the jar but it doesn't say "(library home)"; I think this is the problem...


Thanks,

Phil

PS: I already checked the forum but so far, I couldn't find an answer on that particular problem, so thanks a lot in advance!
