use classes contained in a .jar file in a java project

Question

I am using eclipse and i have a library (.jar file).
I need to import it in my project. I have already added it in my project (Build path..).
Now my problem is that there is a default package who contains (.class files) in the library .
and i don't know how to use it (instanciate objects from this library) in my code.

thx a lot

The short answer is that you can't, unless you extract those classes from the jar and put the classes themselves on your classpath. See also: How to access java-classes in the default-package?
