Hi i’m trying to execute a code but i’m incurring into some problems. The first problem is the rendering execution of the GUI’s text (controlP5) of my big program. To fix that, i’m trying to execute a little code, but it doesn’t get compiled. I code into visual studio using _.java_ files importing _processing.core._ \* . I tried executing into processing editor but it doesn’t compile again. The console show this error:

> ControlP5 **0.5.4** infos, comments, questions at [processing GUI, controlP5](http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5)  
> but actually the latest version of this package should be 2.2.5 .  
> My code:

```auto
package vis;
import peasy.*;
import controlP5.*;
import controlP5.Textfield;
import processing.core.*;
import processing.opengl.*;
public class Test extends PApplet {
  public static void main(String _args[]) {

    PApplet.main(new String[] { vis.Test.class.getName() });
  }
PeasyCam cam;
ControlP5 cp5;
Button a,b;
int buttonValue = 1;
int myColor = color(255, 0, 0);
public void setting(){
	size(800, 800, P3D);
}
public void setup() {
  
  cam = new PeasyCam(this, 100);
  cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
  a = cp5.addButton("button");
  a.setValue(10);
  a.setPosition(100, 60);
  a.setSize(80, 20);
  a.setId(1);
  b = cp5.addButton("buttonValue");
  b.setValue(4);
  b.setPosition(100, 90);
  b.setSize( 80, 20);
  b.setId(2);
  cp5.setAutoDraw(false);
}
public void draw() {

  background(0);
  fill(myColor);
  box(30);
  pushMatrix();
  translate(0, 0, 20);
  fill(0, 0, 255);
  box(5);
  popMatrix();
  gui();
  
}

void gui() {
  hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST);
  cam.beginHUD();
  cp5.draw();
  cam.endHUD();
  hint(ENABLE_DEPTH_TEST);
}

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
  println(theEvent.getController().getId());
}

void button(float theValue) {
  myColor = color(random(255), random(255), random(255));
  println("a button event. "+theValue);
}
}

```

My question are:

1. There’s a fix for bad text rendering of controlP5 GUI into P3D ? Should i use another GUI?
2. How can i update the package controlP5 into visual studio?
3. Why my code doesn’t compile?

I solved my problem, letting this for the future.

1. Use new versions of processing

2.check the lib folder of your java project. Here you should put all the jar file of processing libraries.  
You can find jar files inside your processing program: /processing/contents/java  
core.jar is the main processing library, all the other for graphic, rendering, etc…
