Reference third party libraries

lwillmeth opened this issue · comments

We should be referencing the third party libraries somehow so people can find them. I believe github allows us to link to them directly so if they change, our project automatically includes the most recent versions.

I'll look into doing this.

ya dude we definitely need this

So after asking around and checking how others do it, the solution seems to be using a dependency manager like Maven, Gradle, Ant, etc. The dependency manager will create a build file others can use to find the libraries. Eclipse does this too by creating the hidden files .classpath and .project, but they only work in Eclipse where other managers work on any IDE/editor.

For now, I suggest we simply include Eclipse's .classpath and .project files, and come back to add dependency manager files when we aren't so smashed with new concepts already. We seem to be doing ok so far and I don't want to make things harder than they already are.
