----------------------------------- cool dude Sun May 07, 2006 10:41 am importing packages ----------------------------------- i'm trying to import a package into java, but it says package does not exist. although i see on many other java programs made that they imported it and without this package the program won't run. this is the package i want to import import hsa.Console; i could import other packages but for some reason i can't import this one. maybe i have to download this package so does anyone know the site where i can download it? ----------------------------------- cool dude Sun May 07, 2006 10:54 am ----------------------------------- nevermind i think its just like Scanner to get the user input so i can just change it to import java.io.*; and use the BufferedReader instead. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun May 07, 2006 1:24 pm ----------------------------------- In java you do not import Packages. You only import Classes. You may import one specific class from a package, or all the classes from a package (using *). ----------------------------------- cool dude Sun May 07, 2006 5:50 pm ----------------------------------- In java you do not import Packages.

I would suggest ignoring it unless a class forces you to use it. As for Scanner, as long as you have JDK 1.5.0.x you sould be able to import java.util.Scanner. ----------------------------------- Onega Mon May 08, 2006 4:28 am ----------------------------------- If you want to import some package, that package must be reachable by your program. Usually you have to change your CLASSPATH.[/b]
