I'm trying to use the AndEngine.java library for use in a school project, but I don't think I'm correctly adding it to the build path. There are some superclasses in the library that I'm supposed to extend into subclasses for the purposes of the game, but Eclipse is just not recognizing the library at all.

Here's what I'm doing:
1.) Create a new folder in this project's subfolder called "libs"
2.) move andengine.java to that subfolder
3.) right click on it and select Build --> Add to build path

From here, the AndEngine library appears under the "Referenced Libraries" subgroup (It's the only thing in there), and I can open up the AndEngine library to find all the superclasses I'm supposed to be extending. The IDE just doesn't recognize any of them when I try to call them in my code.

Edit: I actually fixed it by adding a specific import statement for one of the classes I needed.

code:

import org.anddev.andengine.ui.activity.BaseGameActivity;

which resolved this:

code:

public class AndEngineMinimalExample extends BaseGameActivity{

"BaseGameActivity" was unrecognized before, the first line of code fixed it.

However, is there any way to make the IDE do this for me? It did not recognize anything from the imported library until I specifically typed out that import statement by hand. None of the subclasses/methods appear in the intellisense
