Hi Friends,

I need to avoid placing all the things into one big source. So I'd like to place
the different elements into separate modules.

Ideally, I would like a separate .java file for each module: tile engine, vm and graphics.

so, I'm confused about that how I could do that. Could anybody give me any hints or tips on how to do this ?

also i'd like to tell you that I'm working with Net Beans but Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

your answers would be helpful.

Thanks
Paul

You have all your source files in one package (Netbeans does this automatically). Have one classes in each package, and then you can just reference them from other files automatically, as they are all in the same package.

Classes is what you need as said above.
