Before you start using it however, it is highly recommended that you take a look at the API documentation, as well as the tutorial, first.
You will find both at http://www.kierrow.net/projects/io-toolkit/.
2. Using the library in your projects
I will demonstrate this here using the far-spread IDE 'Eclipse' (Indigo), but it should work in a similar fashion using other IDEs (or none).
First, you should have your project ready, and it should look somewhat like this:
Once you have that, you need the file. It should look similar to this:
You extract it's contents into a folder, I called it "lib", that ONLY contains that source. [!]
Afterwards, back in Eclipse, you right-click your project, in my case called "MyPlugin", and click Build Path -> Link Source...
It should open up a dialog window like this one:
In there, you type the path to your directory that has the extracted source in it, for me, again, it's "lib".
In the second text field, you just type lib, that's what your additional source folder will be called.
Now you only need to make sure that, when you export your project and make it into a JAR file, you export the library (the contents of the "lib" folder) with it, otherwise your plugin will not work properly.
