What I mean is, in Java there is a standard set of packages that can be referenced from any program in any context on the computer. So when I want to process raster images I just add import java.awt.image.BufferedImage to the top of my file and I able to use that pre-built class without referencing the actual java.awt.image package files at all during compilation and run time. Where are these globally importable packages kept and/or how can I make my package files globally available in the same way?
I have been writing a lot of small helper programs lately, most of which do very similar things, and it would be convenient for me to be able to reuse code without explicitly referencing my package files.
Thanks for any help.
