I'm sure that this problem is something that I'd know how to handle if I wasn't such a noob with java and eclipse. I know exactly what I want to do in Visual Studio with C#! I've decompiled a couple of addons such as the Solar helmet just to learn how things are done and I've noticed that they reference mod_ic2 to get items such as "mod_IC2.itemPartAlloy". My guess is that the jar file is included as a library some how. I thought I did this properly but still no luck. Anyone mind giving me a good pointer? Thanks!
