You can pass some parameters at build time: 

javac -classpath lib/bar.jar com/example/Foo.java

In this scenario, your class Foo.java depends on the jar bar.jar.

If you’re using a project that doesn’t use any dependency manager, it gets really complicated to work with.

I recommend taking a look at Maven or in the Gradle. They make it easier when you have external dependencies on the project.
