I have created a class in Java that I need to import into NetBeans and use in a GUI. What I have done so far is add the jar file containing the classes to the library in my project. I can look inside the jar file and see the classes I need inside the . I have looked around online and know that the best to way import these classes is to move them to another package that isn't the .
My problem is that I do not know how to do this. I saw that I can create a package in netbeans, but it is gray when it appears and I can't seem to do anything with it. I basically have no idea how to create packages that I can use to import classes If someone could please walk me through step by step I would greatly appreciate it. I have looked at the other posts on this site and other places online, but they seem to skip over somethings I am not sure about. My teacher didn't mention anything about packages either, so I am really in the dark.

You can copy your source files (*.java
) in your project's src
folder, then use refactoring to change the package.
Right-click your java file, then select Refactor > Move
and type your new package name.
