Hello,

I want to use the XML class in BlueJ but it doesn’t work. I have tried several others like PFont for example which does work. As I found out the class XML is part of the core library.

In general, if you are trying to figure out how to import a Processing component, find it in the code repository, check the directory path, and look at the “package” statement at the top of the file.

> **[processing/processing](https://github.com/processing/processing/tree/master/core/src/processing)**
>
> Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE) - processing/processing

For example, XML.java file is found in [processing / data](https://github.com/processing/processing/tree/master/core/src/processing) and its package statement says:

> <https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/data/XML.java#L23-L25>
