I am new to java application programming. wondering how to import package? I am using Eclipse.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import se.kontoret.testapi.*;  //this is required.

Is it same like dll file in .net where one must have .dll files and add as reference?

There are two ways to do this:

  1. Downloaded the external library which is of .jar extension and Configure it using build path for a normal java project
  2. You can create a Maven project and add the dependencies there so that Maven will download it to your .m2 repo and you can import it in your code.

Yes, it is similar.

To do this, right click on your project, navigate to Build Path -> Add external archives, and then select the .jar file which contains your external dependency.
