How to add jar file?
May 1st, 2009, 12:09pm  
How would I add a jar file to my sketch? I tried sketch -> add file and added the .jar file. But it seems like processing doesnt see it, so I get errors. Any ideas? I'm trying to add jtwitter.jar. My code works fine in Java but it doesn't work in Processing.

Drag'n'drop the .jar file on the PDE window where the sketch is opened.
Or put the .jar file in a code folder in the sketch's folder.
Or treat it like a library.

Hmm, when I did the sketch > add file the jar file did get put in the code folder. So I guess the jar is in there sucessfully but using it is the problem.

In java, the code would basically look like this:
Code:

import winterwell.jtwitter.*;
// Make a Twitter object
	Twitter twitter = new Twitter("my-name","my-password");
	// Print Daniel Winterstein's status
	System.out.println(twitter.getStatus("winterstein"));
	// Set my status
	twitter.updateStatus("Messing about in Java");


I try the same thing in processing but I get a twitter-not-defined error when the object twitter is constructed. What could be going on? Thanks!
