Use Java packages inside Processing?

in Contributed Library Questions • 2 years ago

I know this is a rather dull and 1000 times answered type of question but I had problems that drove me crazy. Now I know where and how should I make Processing import outside Java class packages by putting them in the Libraries folder in Sketchbook in Documents...and I am sure that I do everything right but some packages just won`t be recognized.

So if anyone has a little time to test how can this package be imported in Processing I would be forever grateful...The package name is commons-math-2.2 and the address is http://commons.apache.org/math/...

Ok....just now I got it and I will try to describe what I`ve done

The fact is that in /documents/processing/sketchbook/libraries folder I made a new folder called Math (you can choose any name). The next step was the copying of the "naked" source files in this Math folder. These source files are from org/apache/commons/math/ folder and they consist of .java files. Finally I made the folder called library here and copied the .jar executable file and renamed it to Math.jar.

After that Processing had this Math library under sketch/import library...and it works

You found it. Except you don't really need the source files (but they don't hurt either and can be useful).
