importing packages

[cool dude]

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

code:

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?

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.

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 *).

oh srry didn't know do u know why i can't import the console class or the scanner class? i got the latest version i think from the java sun website.

The HSA stuff is specific to Ready To Program. 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.

If you want to import some package, that package must be reachable by your program. Usually you have to change your CLASSPATH.[/b]
