If I have Classes.jar, and I want to use it in a project, where do I put
the file? I have the file in my SDK as well as the directory of the
project. I've tried:

import Classes.jar;
import Classes;
package Classes;
package Classes.jar;

plus or minus a few variations. Can anyone help me with the syntax,
point me in the right direction for the location of the jar file?

Classes.jar should contain a bunch of .class files in a package
structure.

The name of the jar file has nothing to do with the name of the
package.

Say that, in MyClasses.jar, I have (at least) the following files:

mypackage/MyFirstClass.class
mypackage/MySecondClass.class

Them I would use
import mypackage.MyFirstClass;

public class YetAnotherClass {
MyFirstClass first = new MyFirstClass();
//...
}

Hope this helps...
Daniel.

Would add - the jar file needs to be in the classpath, or you can
install it as a library for your project. How you do this is somewhat
dependent on your development platform. I would, in Netbeans, open the
project tree, right click the libraries icon, choose add library, and
browse to wherever your classes.jar happens to be. Now the classes
will be able to be imported using the code posted before.
/js
