Please copy and paste the error messages here.

The import statement is a way to extend the classpath to the location of the class file. The location of the classfile should be at classpath+import-path

What is the (classinformation) you refer to? Do you have an example?

import javax.swing.JFrame;
Where javax.swing is the package and JFrame is the class.

the class info is an armory, and when i import the class i only want information about the weapons i am making the class about, so it can calculate what the attack is, how much you can sell it for, and when you attack other users how much your attack is.

so it would be...

import MyGame.Amory

then how do i use the information...

[Fubarable]

1) missing a semicolon at the end of the import statement.
2) where's the package information?
3) AFAIK, you import a class, not "information about a class". If you want to hide implementation details, then use interfaces.

If Amory is a class, create an instance of it using new and then you can call its methods:

Amory amry = new Amory();
int value = army.getValue(); // get value

Quote:

import MyGame.Amory

For the above import to find the class Amory, the class file would be in a folder MyGame and the classpath would end at the folder containing MyGame. Amory would be in the package: MyGame.
If none of this makes sense, go read about packages, classpath and import statement.

in Mygame.Amory, Mygame would be the name of the map Amory.class is in, and Amory should have "package Mygame;" at it's first line.
