How to import Java file into Eclipse

Question

I have downloaded a JAVA FILE and I don't know how to import it in Eclipse.

Answer 1

If it's a plain Java file (.java), just put it somewhere inside the src folder of your project. Also, you will have to change its package name, so if it says:

package com.some.package;

And you copy it to src/com/your/app, then you have to change the package name to this:

package com.your.app;

By the way, there's no "Import Java file" option in Eclipse, don't waste time looking for an automatic way to do it.

Answer 2

The best way is take the file and drop it to the default workspace eclipse folder. Then open the eclipse and refresh the project
