Can i including methods into a class ?

[kizzie33]

Is there a way i can include methods into a class, i dont mean using the extends but just have all the methods from a file/class be put into a other classes as if i typed them in there my self

Reason - I have a class called tools, it has several functions which do nothing amazing, they just life easier such as
public void print(text){ System.out.println(text); }

It doesn't need any special formatting, just needs to be included in all of my classes.

Thankyou !

You can include the files you need in the classpath and write the correct import statement in the class where they are needed, I think that's what you want.

Ermm, how would i do that :S, is there a tutorial or instructions or something like that, i use eclipse if that has anything to do with how i change the classpath

Go to File -> Project properties and find where you can import files, can't tell exactly now, after you import them they will be on the classpath.

Is this Tools class part of your project?

If so then you should be able to just do an import in the class you want to use these methods, assuming Tools is in a different package.

Then you can call the methods like:

Tools.someToolsMethod();

Go to File -> Project properties

that does exists, or at least not on the mac version

What do you mean by import?
"import" is a word with meaning in Java.

Is the class already in your project?

What IDE are you using?

Right i said important because tolls said it "If so then you should be able to just do an import in the class"

Im using eclipse and the class is in the same project as the other class.

All i want is that when im compile my project the methods in a file are put into every class

Right, so import the Tools class into the class(es) that need it.
At the top of the class (after any package declaration):

import <whatever package it's in>.Tools;

If they are in the same package, however, you don't even need to do an import.

And then you can use the methods as I showed above.
