Instructions for Adding the Keyboard Class to a Jcreator Project

You should use the Keyboard class (provided by the authors' of your text) to make the job of reading data from the keyboard easy. To use this class, follow these brief instructions:

1. Create a project folder for this program using JCreator as described in lab 2. You may choose any name for the project folder, but the java file and the class name (i.e., the name of the Java class contained in that file) must be the same.
2. Download the java source code for the Keyboard class using this link (right-click on the link), and store it in the project folder created in step 1.
3. In JCreator, select Add Files... from the Project menu option on the JCreator tool bar.
4. In the pop-up window that appears, select or type Keyboard.java and select Open.
5. The Keyboard class is now included in your project. To use the class in your program you simply need to include the following line of code at the start of your program:

     import cs1.Keyboard;
   

Remember that capitilization is important. There are examples of programs that use the Keyboard class in Figures 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12 of your text.
