hi.

i am new to java and have been putting the puzzles together on programming. my questions are bugging me alot. When i create a java project, I choose to create a new class. The problem is when I start typing "import acm.program.*;" The class file shows it as an error. How do I add the files to eclipse so it can read it in the class. or am I missing something very stupid. Thanks

Eclipse (and any other java compiler) has to be able to find the class your code imports in order to resolve references to it. Eclipse uses the Build Path to resolve references. You access the Build Path from the Properties dialog for your project. If you are trying to use a third party library, then the class is probably distributed in a jar. You add jar files to the Build Path on the Library tab of the Build Path page.
