Java ACM package

Question

I\'m trying to write a java application in Eclipse.

I\'m really wanting to use the ACM.Program package, however, my copy of Eclipse doesn\'t have it installed!

Answer 1

jtf.acm.org They let you download it there.

Answer 2

You can download acm.jar from the ACM Java Task Force and then add it to your classpath.

It appears that the previous link is dead. The files are still available at Eric Roberts' Stanford page.

Answer 3

If you follow the Stanford courses, you can import the Assignment directly (.zip files) into a new Java project.

Answer 4

The general answer is:

1. Download the JAR files from the relevant site
2. Copy (or import) them into your Eclipse project. People often put external JARs into a lib directory, but that's just a personal choice.
3. Add them to the project's build path.

However, I wouldn't recommend using the "ACM" classes. They were an interesting idea, but they didn't catch on.
