title: Why is SoftwareSerial not present in Arduino 1.5.8?
body: <p>I am using Arduino IDE 1.5.8 with Eclipse and I tried to import SoftwareSerial. However, the library does not seem to be present in the Arduino IDE. Also, as a substitute (from various blogs) I tried using/importing <strong>NewSoftSerial</strong>. However, I get the following error everytime:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#error NewSoftSerial has been moved into the Arduino core as of version 1.0. Use SoftwareSerial instead.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am completely stuck with this. Any help?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
