Importing a .class file into my package?

Basically, for our last project we created a class that held the information about a year: how many days were in a month, how many months were in a year, etc. etc. For this project, we'll be having to use that same class to make a GUI calendar. Our teacher provided a class which he compiled for us to use in our projects incase our previous class had some flaws in it, which mine did. Unfortunately, it's in .class format and I don't know how to use it in my package!

Oh, well he gave us a precise set of names and variables we should be using and he used the same ones in his class. So I don't have a problem with the names of the methods or anything.

I've been looking around, I am doing this with NetBeans 5.5 and in the build directory I see all the .class files for my package. If I just put my (its called DateAD.class) inside that directory will I be able to call methods inside of it?

EDIT: I tried it but it didn't work. I don't know what else could though! How frustrating, I may just have to remake my previous class... The problem is it is due in about 3 days it's my fault I procrastinated a little too much haha! Well thanks for the help everyone, I'll see what I can do to fix this mess!
