.class file placement
Sep 29th, 2005, 3:07pm  
Hi Cats,
I am trying to instatiate and object with one parameter, for which I only have the .class file and the documentation, but not the .java.  I wrote some non-OOP test code and it compiles fine.  I tried adding a line to instatiate the object and pass the parameter in, and P5 said Type not found.  I then used Sketch/Add Files... and the .class file is now sitting in the newly created Code folder.  I now get a NullPointerException.  Is the .class file enough, is it in the right place, and what else can I try?
THX!

OK, I decompiled the class and deleted the code folder.  I put the .java file right next to the .pde file and used an import statement.  Now it runs with no errors: I need a Sparks.

was the class part of a package? if so, it probably needed to be in a series of subfolders within the code folder based on the package name. or better, put it in a .jar file that represents that folder hierarchy.
