title: The very basics for using Guava
body: <p>I totally did google this. But everything I found is about the next step past where I am.</p>
  <p>I am returning to programming after a long time away, and learning Java (&amp; OO) for the first time. I asked about reading a file, and someone suggested I not try to learn Java's contortions for this, but instead use Guava. After googling, I found out roughly what Guava is and does (sweet!) and I downloaded it.</p>
  <p>Then I discovered that I don't actually know what &quot;use Guava&quot; means.</p>
  <p>I have used imports (like junit, plus basic classes like, I don't know, Math and stuff), and I expect it will be similar. But I don't know, for example, what folder to put Guava in, nor whether Eclipse will recognize it. (Maybe that's the only thing I need to know? I don't know that either.)</p>
  <p>What I am asking for here is this: How do I go from awareness of a new tech (namely Guava libraries) to having code written using that tech, in Eclipse, and executing?</p>
