macOS Sticking a JAVA class in a library

[Eraserhead]

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking the right question, but basically I have some java class files (from my University - specifically one called MaInput.class) I would like to be able to access this class file (and possibly some others) from any java .class file I run on my Mac, is this possible? It seems to be on the UNIX machines...

They will run fine, just ftp them over. Open a terminal window and execute them with the java command, e.g. java foo

Add the files to your classpath. More info here.

Thanks, thats probably the easiest thing to do...

jar them first:

jar cfv yourclasses.jar <list of class files or directory>

before ftping them over. Then you'll just need to reference the jar file in your classpath.
