Hi
I am learning j2se n i have fedora 9 installed. While learning using packages I had to set set CLASSPATH. I wrote:
CLASSPATH=/home/leaf/Documents/javafiles/bytecode
because I wanted to import a class whose corresponding bytecode was saved in the mentioned /home/.../bytecode folder.
I tried echo $CLASSPATH and it showed the expected output.
but when i tried to compile my new class using
javac -d /home/.../bytecode Class2.java
it shows the errors:
package ABC does not exist
....
cannot find symbol
....
....
etc.

[ABC is the package that holds the previously compiled class that i want to import]

Please help..
thanking you,
Chayan

Hi -

This link might help:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...gingfiles.html

Basically, do this:

Quote:

1. If you've got a package "graphics", with a class "Rectangle"...

Code:

//in the Rectangle.java file 
package graphics;
public class Rectangle {
   . . . 
}

2. ... then put your source file "Rectangle.java" in a subdirectory called "graphics":

Quote:

.....\graphics\Rectangle.java

3. ... and compile and run your program directory ABOVE "graphics":

Quote:

javac graphics/Rectangle.java
java graphics/Rectangle

'Hope that helps .. PSM
