import libraries
Nov 4th, 2008, 6:23pm  
I'm just starting with processing, and I'm trying to import the Treemap libary.  I've started and named a new sketch, then dropped the full Treemap folder into the folder.  I've then restarted processing and gone to import library - but the Treemap library is not appearing.

In some places I've read that new libraries need to be dropped into the sketch folder, other places that it needs to be dropped into a 'Library' folder in processing. I can't find that folder.

Thanks!

Create a folder called "libraries" in the sketchbook folder (not the folder of the current sketch). Place the treemap folder inside that.

Libraries folder solution doesn't appear to work either.  You can get around this by Sketch -> Add File and selecting the .jar file for the particular library.  Note that you'll have to update each .jar file if it is updated by the developer.

I've wrote a blog post about it(http://www.eskimoblood.de/2008/12/15/using-non-processing-libaries-in-processing/). One problem was that the folder in the libraries has to have the same name as the jar file to get it work.
