Where the heck are de libraries

Hi
Just downloaded JCreator, and I'm lost as to where the libraries are! I need to access "KeyboardReader" and "TurtleGraphics", but I don't just want those, I want them all. Where do you get them, where are they put? A link would be very helpful!

I searched around and found the text for a library (KeyboardReader), and I pasted the text onto Notepad, however I wasn't sure what file type to save it as... .class? .io?
I also need to know where to put them so the compiler can access them. Or, if there is a way to change THAT directory, please explain how.
One thing: it has to be JCreator, no other program.
HELP!!!11
On a sidenote (not relevant to this post at all), I registered on here before, as "Alec Ignatious" or "Almighty Jeef", and was told to change my name by an admin, which I did the day after that post was made. I then went to logon today, and it said "name not found"... I believe I changed my name in compliance to the policy, why was it deleted?
Admin, please email me if you could.

I'm moving this to the IDE forum because you're more likely to get an answer there.

Welcome to JavaRanch, Alec!
Take a look at your thread in the beginner's forum for information on locating and using third party APIs (aka libraries), and some ideas for what to do with them once you've found them.
After you've located the classes you're after, then you may want to make a change to JCreator to get it to be able to use them.
Note that perhaps the simplest (and least sophisticated) solution would be to include the source code for these classes in each of your JCreator projects where you wanted to use them. Perhaps more appropriate, however, would be to configure JCreator to use these third party classes during the compilation of your project.
In JCreator 2.5 Pro, to configure it to use some class during the compilation of a JCreator project, including if the class is in a JAR file, go to Project -> Project Settings... and on the Required Libraries tab of the Project Settings configuration window, press New... and add the path to the classes or the location of a JAR file.
If you're not working with JCreator projects inside JCreator, and you're just using it to edit Java source files, then you can configure the compilation tool in a similar manner. Go to Configure -> Options... and on the left of the Options windows, select JDK Profiles. On the right, select the appropriate JDK, or create a new one, and click Edit... in the case of selecting an existing one. Add paths and/or archive file locations as appropriate to the list of classes used by this JDK profile.
Good Luck.
