Package Installation

To use the aLibrary or MisIO package with BlueJ at home, you need to configure your BlueJ. This is easy.

1. First ensure you've got the compiled (.class) files that form the aLibrary (or MisIO) package in a folder (sub-directory) called aLibrary (or MisIO). I put mine in C:\Progs\Java\aLibrary\. The path to your folder I'll refer to in these instructions as C:\x\y\z\aLibrary

2. In BlueJ, select menus Tools, Preferences. Select the Libraries tab.

3. Press the 'Add' button and the 'Select directory or jar/zip file' dialogue appears.

4. Navigate to the folder containing your package's folder, ie folder z. (To move into a folder you need to double-click on each folder icon.)

   For example: move to C: using the drop-down list by the 'Look in' box. Then double click on each folder x then y.

5. Select the z folder by single clicking on its icon. The name z (the folder containing aLibrary (or MisIO)) will then appear in the File name text box. Click the 'Open' button.

6. A message dialogue will display, telling you that you'll need to re-start BlueJ for this change to take effect. Click the 'Okay' button.

7. Your 'Preferences' window will show an entry under 'User Libraries' giving the location as C:\x\y\z

8. Now, close BlueJ and re-start it.

9. Your programs should now be able to use the aLibrary (or MisIO) package: just remember to import it into your classes.
