I'm making a graphical program in Java that saves its drawings away as SVG-files. For this I need to import some special classes that I downloaded already. But where should I put them to make them available for the "import" command? I constantly get this error:
"The import ... cannot be resolved"
Thanks for your help in advance,
Thomas

You can put them anywhere, so long as you include them in your classpath.

Welcome to JavaRanch, Thomas!
As suggested, classes to be imported must be locatable by the Java compiler through the CLASSPATH. For a description of the CLASSPATH, and instructions on setting it, take a look at our FAQ on setting the classpath.

Also, note that folks around here may at times be better able to nudge you in the right direction, if you include the code that caused the problem, as well as the error messages.
Good luck.
