I cannot for the life of me import a class file that has been provided by our Professor.
We do not have the java file just the class as we need to use it in our main.
With uni we use JCreator and the class file just needs to be in the same folder as the working directory.
In Eclipse it appears this is not the case, I have searched and I know about the build path but it doesnt seem to be working.
Any ideas?

Not sure what specify is but we were provided a class file that was contained in the working folder, as in date.class.
The main java runs just fine and utilises the class in JCreator - I use a MAC at home so I use Eclipse and cannot get the program to read the class.

Simply ceate a class with the same name and package in Eclipse
then cut & paste the one provided by your teacher over that newly created one

Copy the provided .class file to a folder.
In Eclipse's Package Explorer, right click the source folder of the project you're trying to import the file to.
Select Import
Select General, File System, Next
Browse/Navigate to and select the folder the .class file was saved to, don't open the folder. Select OK.
Select the whole folder in the left pane or the desired file(s) from the right pane of the File System Dialog.
Select Finish.
I can't try this to make sure it works in your situation, but it should.

That' didn't work. I have loaded JCreator on my virtualbox and its working fine.
Looks like ill be sticking with JCreator on this, which is a pity.
MIght try out net beans.

Open a command line in the same directory as the class file. Assuming 'X.class', what do you get from the following command?
javap X
