Don't know how to import class objects

I'm using IntelliJ as my Java IDE. I'm trying to import an open source class object to my program.

For example, line "import org.apache.zookeeper.createMode;" doesn't work for me. Do I need to download the binary and put them into my classpath to work?

Check out this awesome Gradle workshop, it's for IntelliJ and Java.

Then you can create a dependency in your build file like:

compile group: 'org.apache.zookeeper', name: 'zookeeper', version: '3.4.8'

I think it could work to download some binary and put it in your classpath but it's better to use something like Gradle or Maven.
