Hello! I’m somewhat new to processing and have only used it in IntelliJ / Eclipse, yet I’m trying to configure it inside VSCode. Adding core.jar into referenced libraries allows the program to be run, yet VSCode complains about every variable instance (pMouseX, pMouseY) of processing being used, ev…

Ok I did a bit more digging (with suggestions from Claude Opus 4.7) and the following worked for me: Project layout my-sketch/ ├── build.gradle.kts └── src/ └── main/ └── java/ └── MySketch.java build.gradle.kts plugins { java application } repositories { mav…

Hi @techsupport2544 and welcome to the forum! Though it doesn’t exactly answer your question, I wanted to mention there is an official Processing extension for VS Code: [image] Processing - Visual Studio Marketplace Extension for Visual Studio Code - The easiest way to create and run P…

I would but it is for a requirement that I must use .java files and not rather .pde, hence why I’m trying to import it. Thanks for the idea though, I’ll consider using it on other projects

In that case, Gradle is probably the most convenient option. You can look at the template found here: https://github.com/processing/processing4/tree/main/java/gradle/example (This is for .pde files but it shouldn’t be too hard to make it work for .java files) More instructions here: https://github…

Thanks Raph! The Gradle Plugin also works with .java files out of the box!

Hello, P2D and P3D did not work for me with the configuration provided. I had to copy the these into a new lib folder in root of sketch folder: [image] And modify build.gradle.kts: plugins { java application } repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { implementation(file…

Hmm, that’s strange. I don’t have this issue on my end (see the screenshot below) [image] glv: I had to copy the these into a new lib folder in root of sketch folder: Great that you found a workaround. At the same time, it kind of defeats the purpose of using Maven Central if you still have …

Hello @sableraph , Please share your: build.gradle.kts I did try variations of this (many) that did not work: dependencies { // 1. Processing Core implementation("org.processing:core:4.5.3") // 2. JOGL & GlueGen (Core + Natives) // Version 2.3.2 is reliable on Maven Central for W…

[image] glv: Please share your: build.gradle.kts It’s the same one I shared in my previous message: plugins { java application } repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { implementation("org.processing:core:4.5.3") } application { mainClass.set("MySketch") } jav…

[image] stefterv: The Gradle Plugin also works with .java files out of the box! @stefterv : Is it meant to work with P2D and P3D? Looks like gluegen and jogl don’t get included by default when importing org.processing:core:4.5.3 from Maven Central.
