hi

i am trying to create a simple library but i get lost despite of the howto.txt i am not very experienced on Java. I manage to create my own package with a dummy class but when i put it within processing folder then i cannot access it anymore. Also I try to hava a class like the one in the howto.txt then it doesnt compile at all, it looks for the rest of processing to resolve some of the data types like MouseEvent. I wonder what i am missing, i have beed reading about java packages but still i dont get it. I probably need to read more tutorials. I believe that it would be good to have a template for a library that could be downloaded. I mean the classes described in the howto but within a folder structure, i am having problems to understand where i have to include the files. I understand that they should go into /processing/yourlibrary/library so i take the example from the howto and create it there with the package mylibrary; on the top etc... But then i doesnt resolve the classes included in it, it cannot find them despite of importing the package.
sorry if the question is too basic. I have been trying to find answer in java pages but it is too wide so that i could make sense and find the solution.

many thanks

btw. i am coding outside pde in a basic editor and compilng with command line. So far everything is ok and i am able to code applets using processing. But no luck with the libraries so far.
