Yes.

But you need to provide complete information. What do you mean the 'project ... doesn't 
recognize "Layer"'?

How do you know?

What is 'Layer'? Is it a type? What package is it in? What JAR?

You need either to fully qualify the type name or import that type according to the standard, 
basic, fundamental use of 'import', which would have been one of the earliest things you would 
have learned in Java.

So if the package is, for example, 'com.example.foo.layer', and 'Layer' is a type within that 
package, you would refer to 'Layer' in source either as 
'com.example.foo.layer.Layer'
or use 'import' to allow you to use the simple type name elsewhere in your source module

  import com.example.foo.layer.Layer;

  public class YourClass 
  {
    . . . 
        Bar kabar = new Layer().framitz();
    . . . 
  }

But you really have to explain what you mean and be precise about what you observe (such 
as error messages, etc.) to give anyone enough information to help you. Consider studying

http://sscce.org/

and providing one.
