title: How to import OEM Java lib and source into Netbeans?
body: <p>I have done a reasonable amount of programming in various languages but I am a Java / Netbeans newbie. I have successfully created and run "Hello World" so my Netbeans installation is OK.</p>
  
  <p>I want to write code to control an LED display controller card.  I have sample demo code zipped up by the OEM.  I am trying to import, run and edit that code. If I can get this running, this will be the starting point of my own code. </p>
  
  <p>The zip files only include library and source files in a directory structure that does not match Netbeans.    All of my attempts to import the source and lib files have given fatal errors in Netbeans.</p>
  
  <p>The directory tree has a lib and src branch at the root.  The src branch cascades 4 levels to get to the source files.</p>
  
  <p>I figure if I use a different tree structure, I will need to change the import statements in the source file.  I'd rather not touch the code until I have it running.  I have tried to unzip the project tree directly into the Netbeans directory but that didn't work.</p>
