How to install com.bruceeckel.simpletest

Posted: Oct 27, 2003 9:13 AM

Do I need to install "ant" or can I import "com.bruceeckel.simpletest" without "ant"?
What does "import" mean: is it actually downloading the file from the web to my hard-disk or only accessing the web in order to use "com.bruceeckel.simpletest".
I tried to run C.03-ifElse.java and I get this error:
ifElse.java:4: package com.bruceeckel.simpletest does not exist.
You help will be much appreciated.
Charles.

"import" means neither of those things. It tells the compiler that you are using that class or package. You need to have already downloaded and installed the package before you can use it in your programs.

I don't know about this specific package. But in general, you will not need "ant" if you download the .class files. If you download the source (.java) files, you may need ant to compile them properly.

To Dave Hinton:
Thank you for your explanation of what "import" stands for and what it does.

Now, I will have to find out how I can locate and download the package "com.bruceeckel.simpletest", so that I will be able to run and compile the exercise c.03-ifElse.java.

To Dave Hinton:
I searched the file "TIJ-3rd-Edition-code" and I found what I was looking for, namely the directory called
"com.bruceeckel.simpletest"
It was buried under a directory called
"TIJ-3rd-edition-code\com\bruceeckel"
and has the following sub-directories:
simple
simpletest
swing
tools
util

I downloaded all these directories unto my C:\java\code directory and now everything worked.I was finally able to compile and run program C02.

Thank you very much for your help, you brought me unto the right track with your explanation of "import".

Charles.
