import syntax for newbie [message #153798]

just started working my way through Bruce Eckel's book to learn Java
language and using Eclipse to do the exercises.

Just started on chapter 3 which shows some code
import com.bruceeckel.simpletest.*; // which it cannot resolve

Now I have the examples downloaded onto my PC but I cannot find the syntax
needed to tell Eclipse to import from a folder on my Windows system

c:\beckel\thinkingjava\simpletest

Can someone tell me the correct notation.

Thanks

just move the folders to your project folder in your workspace and do a
refresh in your project. The eclipse find the imports without you need to
especificate just clicking in the yellow box with a red x that is in the
left side of the line that the error appears.

Thanks Bruno,

From playing I have also found that from the "properties" of the project I
looked at the "Java Build Path" libraries I noticed that I could add a class
folder.

I "created" a folder and linked it to the location of the downloaded files.
This seems to have done the same trick.

Not sure how I worked this one out but at least all my compilation errors
have gone. Now I am looking as to why it errors when running.

Many thanks for your option. It's good to know that if I have project
specific files or files that I want to keep with the project only that by
copying it into the project folder then it will automatically find the
files.
