How can a noob write a very simple library for Processing?

in Library and Tool Development • 6 months ago

I have a buch of classes written by me I would like to reuse in my future projects. It will be great to do this just improting a custom library.
How should I do that? What should I know and from where should I start?
I read this page https://code.google.com/p/processing/wiki/LibraryBasics but it looks a bit tricky to me? It seems I have to write it in java and compile some files... I'm not sure this is what I need. I just want to reuse some classes without copy/paste them every time :-/

As far as I know those are basically the two options you have. Either turn your classes into a library as described. Or copy/paste the files into each sketch you want to use them in.

Or maybe this tool and this tool are what you need. Then you can save your default classes as a template, that you can reload quickly when you start a new but similar sketch.
