Importing a class (super-newbie question)

[SH4F33]

Hello there.Im very new to java programming and maybe wat Im going to ask is very simple. Anyways. Ive just started with java and im using borland jbuilder 2005 as my ide. Ive created a project "bank" whick is in a folder called bank. And my package name's also bank. Ive got a class called Account.class which is in the bank folder.
And Ive created another project in another folder. And I want to import the Account.class to the new project. I tried typing import Account.*; but I dont c the Account in the popup menu.Can anyone help?
Thanks.

The class has to be referenced with it's package-name (to distinguish it from an isp.Account, f.i.).

import bank.Account;

You also have to specify where to look at all for classes, which is the directory, containing the bank directory, which contains the Account.class.

How that is done with JBuilder is not known by me.
Typically you include that directory in your classpath, but IDEs often like sweet little dialogs to be filled.

Ive tried that, but like u're saying, I must let the ide know where to look for the class Account. Well, thats wat im trying to do since saturday. Thanks for the replies.

Have you read the manual or help pages for your IDE on how to import packages ?
Have you googled for "import packages JBuilder" ?

if you've got another project and you want to import the Account class into that you will need to import the project containing the class into the new project. you might have to import the entire project or just the classes that the Account class is dependant on. in eclips you would do this in the project librarys and where you would import jar files. as far as i know its a similar process in jbuilder.
