Welcome to using Phidgets with Java! By using Java, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
 
Eclipse is an IDE used to write, compile, and run Java applications.

#You will need a copy of [{{SERVER}}/downloads/phidget22/libraries/any/Phidget22Java.zip phidget22.jar]
 
==Use Our Examples==
One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. In order to run the examples, you will need to download and install [https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse].
 
 
Now that you have Eclipse installed, select an example that will work with your Phidget:
*{{SampleCode|Java|Java Examples}}
 
 
Next, create a new Java project. Give it the same name as the example you downloaded above, then click ''Next >'':

Go to the ''Libraries'' tab and click ''Add External JARs...'' and add phidget22.jar to your project as an external jar:

Finally, drag the example java file into the src folder that has been created for you and run the example:

Before you run the example, you may need to set up your Udev rules. An explanation on how to do this is provided on the Linux OS page, which can be accessed [[OS - Linux#Setting udev Rules | here]].

==Setting up a New Project==
When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget Java library.
 
To begin, create a new Java project. Give it a name, then click ''Next >'':
 
[[Image:Java_eclipse_linux_newproject.PNG|link=| center |500px]]
 
 
Go to the ''Libraries'' tab and click ''Add External JARs...'' and add phidget22.jar to your project as an external jar:
[[Image:Java_eclipse_linux_addjar.PNG|link=| center|500px]]
 
 
Create a new Class in your project:
[[Image:Java_eclipse_linux_newClass_menu.png|link=|center|700px]]
 
 
Name the class, and be sure to check the ''public static void main'' box.

Finally, to use the Phidget Java library, add the following import to your code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
import com.phidget22.*;
</syntaxhighlight>
 
The project now has access to Phidgets.
