I very much doubt that's how to avail a library to this IDE. If it is, someone needs shooting. Have you tried Teh Docs ™?

I know, it's annoying. When I got my first VHS, I scoured the manual several times but couldn't see anything about "how to tape 'The Bill'" anywhere, which was really annoying, because I was going out but I needed to see what happened to Reg and that shoplifter. In the end, I just read the section on how to record any old program, and adapted it to my needs :-)

You need to find out how to add a library to your projects build path. It's the same for any library

You're kidding, right? Why would there be? Unless it's an IDE that's been specifically designed just to use that library - in which case, it isn't really an IDE - it won't specify how to import specific libraries. That's what reply #10 was all about. This BreezySwing, whatever it is, is just a third-party library like any other.

But it doesn't say anything about BreezySwing in there

You are not listening. You didn't expect the JDK to randomly install any arbitrary dependencies it thinks you personally might be needing did you? BreezySwing is a third-party library. BlueJ is another third-party product. Now, unless you're very lucky, neither is going to give you instructions specifically on integrating the two. You need to find out how to add dependencies to a project in BlueJ, and apply that knowledge to BreezySwing. You are unlikely to find exact instructions for doing exactly this - see reply #10 for an analogy - but if you have even a modicum of aptitude for programming, you'll be able to fill in the blanks

But in all honesty, I'd suggest you throw BlueJ out of the window for the time being. Get to grips with the basics via command-line tools before trying an IDE. And when you've done that, get a decent IDE. This BlueJ sh!t seems to cause no end of confusion

DONE

Get to grips with the basics via command-line tools before trying an IDE.

command line is ok

And when you've done that, get a decent IDE. This BlueJ **** seems to cause no end of confusion.

We have to give assignment written in Bluej. So every time I want to compile I have to copy from BlueJ to the notepad and compile it with com prompt to check for errors.

Just wanted to get rid off that extra work.

Thx anyway AYMF

Will try to watch next Bill. BTW what happened with Reg and that shoplifter, did he runaway with cheese and olives?
