Importing HSA Console

[Prince Pwn]

Is it possible to import the HSA console into say, NetBeans?

[Insectoid]

No, HSA only exists in Holtsoft's savaged version of Java. It is designed to confuse and infuriate budding programmers.

If you copy the HSA package into the class path you can use it in any java program, however i don't recommended it at all.

Avoid the HSA classes at all cost. They're poorly made, buggy, and completely incapable next to the classes that come standard with Java. Learn to use those instead, because they'll be worth a lot more to you both now and in the long run.

I searched for hsa and package in the RTP directory + tree, didn't come across any package. Is it bundled in with the ready.exe?

[TerranceN]

The hsa folder is in "Ready_to_Program\Support\Ready Classes", but I agree with the others, the java.awt packages may be a little harder at first, but they have much more functionality and expandability (not to mention a Graphics object accessor method).

[DemonWasp]

They're probably inside a .jar file somewhere under the RTP install directory. You can inspect the contents of a .jar file with any utility that can open .zip files, because a .jar file is exactly the same thing with a different extension (which means something to the Java runtime).

I strongly recommend you don't stray down this path. That way lies madness.

[Prince Pwn]

Well I do my coding in RTP and my professor I believe uses NetBeans, so if I can pass him the HSA class or w/e, he won't need to install my IDE to grade my work.

[DemonWasp]

It would be better to use the classes provided by Java, as demonstrated in other threads. They're considerably less buggy and everyone has them already.

If you're really really determined to use those classes, then you can just include the .jar file and run the program with arguments to indicate that Java should load the classes in the .jar (see the output of the java command or the java -help, whatever it is).
