  1. Create a New Project

    A Dialog opens. Choose Java Project


  2. Name Your Project

  4. Add source folder
    Click Add Folder button (see above). A dialog opens. Type in "src"


  5. Confirmation Dialog


  6. Your Project settings now look like this:


  7. Change output folder name
    The output folder really ought to be called "classes" not "bin", since this is the folder into which .java files are compiled to .class files. You may not agree, so skip this step.


  8. Click Libraries Tab


  9. Click Add External Jars.
    A file dialog opens. Browse to the JMSL installation directory, into the classes folder. Select jmsl.jar
