 Here, press the 'Add JARs...' button.  This will open up a new window.  You will find the Jar libraries that need to be added under 'lib'.  Select all of the files that end in ".jar", and click Okay.  Those libraries are now added to the project.
+==== Running Blackwood ====
+Now that the Blackwood source code is downloaded, the project is created and the libraries are properly linked, you can now run Blackwood.  Right click on the project, select Run As... → Java Application.  You will then be prompted to select the correct Main method to run, this can be found in "Main - edu.nodak.ndsu.cs.lions.blackwood".  Should all the steps be followed properly, Blackwood will launch.
+==== Creating an executable Blackwood jar file ====
+Find the Blackwood project in the Package Explorer on the left side of the Eclipse Window.
+Right click on the project and select **Export** from the menu. A select window will open. Find the **Java** option and choose **Runable Jar File** from. Then click **Next**.
+In the next window, Select the Blackwood launch configuration and enter a path and file name in the export destination field. Be sure the **Package required libraries into generated jar** option is selected. Click **Finish**
+If your project runs in Eclipse without errors, you should get an executable jar file when the process finishes.
+==== (If all else fails) Working Blackwood .zip ====
