Import a custom class in Java

Solution 1:

If all of your classes are in the same package, you shouldn't need to import them.

Simply instantiate the object like so:

CustomObject myObject = new CustomObject();

Solution 2:

Import by using the import keyword:

import package.myclass;

But since it's the default package and same, you just create a new instance like:

elf ob = new elf(); //Instance of elf class

Solution 3:

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();
