Import if Import is Found, Else
Hey, I am very new to Java. And I am coding a simple modification for Minecraft. Now I am gonna try to explain without the knowlegde of Minecraft and with.

Re: Import if Import is Found, Else
Are you talking about the import statement? It is used to tell the compiler what packages classes are in.
It saves the coder from having to code the full classname including the package name.
Otherwise please explain what you mean by "import".

Re: Import if Import is Found, Else
In Minecraft coding you import packages from the game, Minecraft itself thats in the Java project.
Example:
Thats one of the import you can use in Minecraft codingimport net.minecraft.item.Item;
You put "import (package)" in the top of the class...

Do you understand what import statements are for?
What are your questions now?

Re: Import if Import is Found, Else
I think so, to dont need to copy/write all classes in a package over, or to refer to some other Java. Isnt it?
Well my question is,
Is it possible to "if" an "import", so if it finds the referred/imported package it does whats in the "if", else it does whats in an "else"...
import package.package; public class Class { if (IDontKnowWhatToBeHere){ ItemStack sandStack = new ItemStack(Item.TheItem, 1); } else (StillDontKnowWhatToBeHere) { public final static Item TheItem = new TheItem(9238) .setItemName(TheItem); } }
While imported a lot of other packages though of course, I dont know if this even is possible. But what does the code do if it doesn't find the package that the import is refferred to? And what to be in "(IDontKnowWhatToBeHere)" and "(StillDontKnowWhatToBeHere)"? Do I need to creat a new boolean that checks if the code is resolved or does it exists something for this already?
Re: Import if Import is Found, Else
That question doesn't make sense. import statements allow the code to be written without adding the package name.Is it possible to "if" an "import"
There is no requirement to use import statements. Most, maybe all, code can be written without using any import statements.
Try writing a small program with an import statement for a package that does not exist. The compiler will tell you that it can not find the package.But what does the code do if it doesn't find the package that the import is refferred to
