Sending emails & adding libraries... (Read 869 times)

Sending emails & adding libraries...
Aug 20th, 2009, 6:35am  
Alright, I just downloaded processing for the first time, and I'm having zero luck trying to accomplish two simple tasks: Add a library, then use that library to send emails.

I'm used to the Arduino developing environment, so whenever I've needed to add a library I just dropped it in \arduino\hardware\libraries and whola, the next time I reload the arduino software, my new library is listed in the "Import library" menu.

What I'd like to do is add the JavaMail API libraries so I can use smtp to send emails.

JavaMail located here: java.sun.com/products/javamail/
(Apparently I'm not allowed to post links until I've made at least 5 posts - sorry.)

Could anyone lend a hand?????

Thank you Cedric, but I've already seen that link. It's very informative, but it doesn't help me with my incredibly simplistic problem of adding libraries.

Just drag the .jar file into your project window and you should be good to go.

Well when you drag-and-drop files into your sketch window, it adds it to the sketch folder. To be more specific, dragging a .jar file into the sketch window will add it to a "code" folder, instead of data. I did this when using Twitter4J. I just dragged in the .jar, added the proper import statements, and I was good to go. I'm assuming the same will work here.

Thank you NoChin and Cedric! That was brilliantly simple. Now why on Earth couldn't I find that anywhere??? I'm glad you mentioned the twitter4j library as well - that seems like it could be very useful!
