RE: Package problems

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you get "cannot resolve symbol"?  If so, that's because the file is not
located in the CLASSPATH properly.  Quick example.  Here's your directory
structure:

myroot
  +-- myjava
        +-- mypackage

1. Let's say you set your CLASSPATH to include \myroot\myjava.
2. You have two source files, Class1.java and Class2.java, both in myjava
3. Both have a package statement, "package mypackage"
4. Class1.java has no external references
5. Class2.java references Class1

Put yourself in your base Java directory (myjava).  If you then compile
Class1.java (using "javac Class1.java"), it will compile fine.  But
compiling Class2 fails with "cannot resolve symbol".  You MUST move the
class file (Class1.class) into mypackage.  Then Class2 will compile just
fine.
