Importing Java class X from outside the project into Eclipse?

So I'm trying to use a GrovePi open library in my project to use the LEDs on my GrovePi. Currently the specific class that lets me access the LEDs is stored at import com.dexterind.grovepi.sensors.Led; Now that I try to import the specific class I get an error where Eclipse doesn't recognize com.dexterind. I believe it's because it's not in my project and it's scope isn't to find packages outside my source folders and the jars in my build path. I know I have to change some config file in the project folder but I can't seem to find it. Also, getting a Jar doesn't seem to be an option as I only want that one class. Any help would be appreciated!

Eclipse have the option to add external class folder into your buildpath, but using this option you could have some issues with dependencies that the class would have. I think the best solution is import the jar.
