Prevent massive import lines?

[sphaero]

When I create a library with this template and lots of source code I end up with the Processing IDE to generate lots of import statements. How can I prevent these, as they are not needed!

For reference the lib is located here: https://github.com/sphaero/procmod

I guess it's caused by a package source being included in the src folder?

Any pointers really appreciated.

Seems like you aren't putting your libraries in /lib?

https://github.com/sphaero/procmod/tree/master/lib

The lib folder: In case your Library requires 3rd party libraries, which need to be added to the distribution, put them into the lib folder. These 3rd party libraries will be added to your distribution and are located next to your Library's jar file. This does not apply to .jar files that are considered core processing libraries.

[sphaero]

No I put the source of the lib in /src. I thought the /lib folder was meant for .jar files. If I put the source in lib I get errors.

I believe that the /lib folder is meant for third-party libraries as jar files. You don't need to include them as source -- you can include the jars.

For example, it looks like you are trying to include javamod. So you might want to include javamod.jar -- not the full source code of javamod.

https://www.quippy.de/mod_en.php

[sphaero]

Yes indeed. It is a heaviliy modified version of javamod to make it usable for processing. I rather keep the source together.

[jeremydouglass]

Got it. If you really don't want a separate eclipse project for your custom javamod, then put your javamod source in e.g. /lib-src and make a new separate Eclipse build action that builds the jar to /lib. Add it to the beginning of build all if you want to rebuild the jar each time you rebuild your library.

[sphaero]

Ok, thanks for thinking along. I've moved the package to its own subdir and added a build target to the ant file.
