Import custom package into project

IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.4 Community Edition
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)

Hello,

I have created a package name called com.insystems.gumball

I have a class called Gumball with some functions.

package com.insystems.gumball;

public class Gumball {
    /* functions here */
}

Now I have created a new command line app project called gumball_test

package com.insystems.gumballtest;

import com.insystems.gumball;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Gumball gb = new Gumball(5);
    }
}

The problem is that I get a:

unused port statement

and

cannot resolve symbol gumball

Both these projects are in different directories as I want to keep all my packages in a directory that I can import whenever I need them.

I am new to Java and IntelliJ so I am not sure how can I set the path of my packages that can be used in my other projects?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

The problem is in your import com.insystems.gumball; line (this means import gumball class in com.insystems package). Since there is none, you get this error.

You need to import certain class

import com.insystems.gumball.Gumball;

or the whole package

import com.insystems.gumball.*;

This might help to clarify things more
