Import a custom class in Java

Question

How do I import a class I wrote in a different file? All my classes are under the same package.

Answer 1

In the same package you don't need to import the class.

Otherwise, it is very easy. In Eclipse or NetBeans just write the class you want to use and press on Ctrl + Space. The IDE will automatically import the class.

General information:

You can import a class with import keyword after package information:

Example:

package your_package;


import anotherpackage.anotherclass;

public class Your_Class {
    ...
    private Vector variable;
    ...
}

You can instance the class with:

Anotherclass foo = new Anotherclass();
