'Global classes in eclipse'
Jun 11th, 2010, 11:08am  
Hi,
I have been structuring my work on eclipse but I can't get how to make a class visible to other classes;

usually in the pde variables or classes defined before the setup can be access from any other class, how can I do this in eclipse?

I need it to create class interaction and feedback loops between classes... do I need to build a special class to contain the other ones?

thx.

It is hard to answer without knowing how you structured your files...

Usually, in Java, you put all classes in their own files, with the same name than the class itself. Ie. a class Spiral will live in a Spiral.java file.
If all files are in the same package (folder), there is nothing to do. But usually, the classes are declared public when they must be seen outside of their package.

Hey,
Thx, I figured it out... I was casting just the PApplet into the other classes but if I cast 'myProcessingSketch' class I can access all the variables and classes with the calling parent.
Eclipse is a really great environment for code development.
Cheers.
