I need some help with a lot of simple information

[Korialstrasz]

I have been converted over to linux and enjoyed every month of it, and haven't really done any programming since I got into it. I used eclipse back in high school and I was a decent programmer but I'm slowly getting tired of the Java libraries and I want to add some new packages into them, how do I go about doing this, I know its simple I just don't want to mess anything up.

Another question I have is that I've been programming in Python for some time and I'd like to get Eclipse to have multiple languages open for me, how do I go about customizing this.

Not sure what you mean by "adding new packages" into java. But you can download libraries and use them in your programs. For example a program I am working on uses the H2 library (http://www.h2database.com/) which adds the ability to embedd a RDBMS into the application. I also use the iText library (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) for producing PDF reports.

Is this what you meant?

since you were a decent programmer in java, you already know how to create "package" in java

eclipse has plugins, add the ones you need for a language.
