Importing the Sample Code

Importing the sample code into an Eclipse project

Most of the sample files are written without a package, so they go directly in the src folder (the "default package") in Eclipse.

There are many ways to get the sample files into an Eclipse project; here are a couple of options:

1. Right-click on the link and click "Save Link As..."
2. Save to some temporary location such as your Downloads folder
3. Find the src folder for your project in the Eclipse Package Explorer.
4. Open up the Windows File Explorer (or Finder on a Mac), and drag the file from File Explorer into the src folder.
  - Important: Be sure to select the "Copy files" option in the dialog that comes up.
1. Choose or create an Eclipse project where you want to put the code.
2. Right-click on the src folder in that project and select "New" and then "Class".
3. In the New Class Dialog that comes, up, type the class name and make sure that the "Package:" text box is blank. Click Finish.
4. Then, you can just copy and paste the code from your browser into the editor window for the new class.
