}
}

{System.out.println("BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB");

It sounds like you are having a problem with your CLASSPATH. Make sure that the parent directory of your "comm" and "b" directories is in the CLASSPATH. For example, if your directory structure looks like this:
...
MyProject
\--src
|--comm
|--b
then make sure MyProject/src is in your CLASSPATH. This also assumes that your classes are declared in packages, e.g. "package comm;" appears in all of your comm classes and "package b;" appears in all of your b classes.

Thank you for the answers.
What I have stated down is possible
when we give command as
javac -classpath \MyProject\src\comm \Myproject\src\b\test.java
then does the '-classpath' calls the setclasspath and sets the path to the specified directory. If yes then is previously set path gets reset?
