Processing.serial in BlueJ doesn't work

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)
13

@Paul94 I was able to get the arduino_example sketch running in BlueJ after some tinkering. Did this with a Macbook Pro and an Adafruit FLORA running the StandardFirmata Arduino sketch.

I exported the slightly modified flora_blink sketch from Processing as @kfrajer suggested, then copied the Java folder from that package to a convenient location on my filesystem. In BlueJ, I added all of the .jar files except for flora_blink.jar before restarting the IDE. The code below enables me to click a square and blink the FLORA’s onboard LED.
