Im using BlueJ, I want to import a class from a path I set.

Question

Hi, I'm using BlueJ and I want to import a class from a path I set.
Like this
import "C:\myfolder\*";
Instead of like this
import java.thing.*;
Any ideas why the above line is not working for me?

Answer 1

The import statement takes a class name or package name + .*, not a file name. It has nothing to do with files.
import package.name.ClassName; // to import a class
import package.name.*; // to import all classes in the package named "package.name"
You need to properly specify your classpath at compile-time as well as run-time.
