Perplexing trouble in importing packages [message #124874]

I am trying to create a plugin on thh lines of the paint plugin which is
available as an example.

My problem is that i get compilation errors on import statements -

import org.eclipse.ui.part;
import org.eclipse.ui.plugin;

the error statements are of the type "the import org.eclipse.ui.plugin
cannot be resolved"

I was able to remove similar errors in importing org.eclipse.jface.action.*
and org.eclipse.jface.action.resource.* by simply adding the library
(jface.jar) to the project.

However the trouble in doing the same to the two files above is that there
is no package called org.eclipse.ui.part.* or import
org.eclipse.ui.plugin.* in the eclipse plugins directory.what reference do
I give for the two files then.

I DID add org.eclipse.ui.jar to the project but that has not worked.
There is a lot of documentation about the two packages on the internet but
no directions on how I can download them.

Could some please help.Thanks

These are eclipse plugins that ship with eclipse. The jar may not mirror the
path of the import. You may want to search through the various
org.eclipse.ui plugin folders to find the jar you need. For example, the
package might be contained in the workbench.jar in the ui.workbench folder.
