kevinjames

hello all, previously i was using a jcreator java ide for using processing sketches in java but the ide got outdated so i switched to netbeans ,however when i tried to import processing libraries and run basic sketches it throws an error

run:
Usage: PApplet <appletname>
For additional options, see the Javadoc for PApplet
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)

First create a package and call it main. Then create 2 .java files. In the first one type this code and call it RunProcessing.java

package main;

import processing.core.PApplet;

public class RunProcessing extends PApplet {
    public static final boolean fullscreen = false;

       public static void main(String args[]) {
           if(fullscreen)
           {
              PApplet.main(new String[] { "--present", "main.ExampleProcessing" });
           }
           else
           {
              PApplet.main(new String[] { "main.ExampleProcessing" });
           }
       }

}

In the second one you can place your actual Processing code and call it ExampleProcessing.java Notice you can change the names by renaming main.ExampleProcessing inside RunProcessing.java

package main;

import processing.core.*;

public class ExampleProcessing extends PApplet {
    //Your code here
    public void setup() {
        size(640, 480);
        background(0);

      }
}
