- To use BlueJ for class assignments, you will also need to get the objectdraw library (objectdrawV1.1.2.jar)
- After putting objectdrawV1.1.2.jar in a reasonable place (like your folder for class work), you need to tell BlueJ where to find it. To do that, start BlueJ. Open the BlueJ menu and select "Preferences". Then select "Libraries". Click the "Add" button. This should open a file browser. Find objectdrawV1.1.2.jar and click "Choose".
- Another preference that I recommend that you set is on the "Editor" tab. Select "Display line numbers".
- You should also download the objectdrawinvoker.jar extension available from BlueJ. Instructions on how to install BlueJ extensions are available at the bottom of the BlueJ extensions page.
