Hi Everyone,

I have been using the Eclipse IDE for over 3 years now for my University projects.
Since I have graduated I decided to test out the Netbeans IDE.
So far I am liking it much more than Eclipse, however I am having a problem and wondered if anybody can help me?

I want to add a library/toolkit called Piccolo2D. I added the library/toolkit with ease using Eclipse however I seem to be having problems using Netbeans.

I followed the steps stated on the 'Getting Started' page, (http://www.piccolo2d.org/learn/out-of-box-java.html[^]) and copied the steps needed using the Netbeans IDE instead of the Eclipse IDE, however when I come to write the imports:

Java

import edu.umd.cs.piccolo.PCanvas;

Netbeans don't seem to acknowledge/find these libraries.

Please can someone help me import libraries into Netbeans, so I can see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Kind Regards

You are typing your imports? That's like a time travel back to the 90s.

It's quite the same as in Eclipse, you've got to add the libs to your project in a similar way.

How to import libs to Netbeans project[^]

As soon as you have added the lib (jar-file) to your project the imports should come automatically as you request something from the lib.
