Hi,
I have a really frustrating problem, which I have been unable to solve for some time now. I have followed the instructions in a number of books but it still doesn't work. Can anybody help me?
The problem:-
I want to create a package on my computer, but when I try to import the package in a class on another directory, the package cannot be found by the compiler.
For example the package I want to set up is com.p1.lu and inside that package I want a class named Class1.java
The Steps I have done are as follows:-
1) On my WIN98 laptop, create the directories c:\com\p1\lu
2) Inside the directory lu created a class Class1.java with the following code:-
package com.o1.lu;
public class Class1{
public void setName(
String name){
System.out.println(name);
}
}
Code compiles fine
3) Change my class path on my autoexec by the following:-
set CLASSPATH = .;c:\com\p1\lu
4) Rebooted my computer
5) At DOS prompt checked that the class path is correct by entering set
6) In another directory on my computer create a class named TryPackage.java with following code:-
import com.p1.lu;
public class TryPackage{
public static void main(String []args){
Class1 obj = new Class1();
obj.setName("David");
}
}
Does NOT compile with following error message:-
TryPackage.java:1
ackage com.p1.lu does not exist
Any help would be much appreciated. I have been tearing my hair out over this for quite some time now.
Regards,
Con
P.S.I also ran into another problem which might be related - I tried to run the "Hello World" example in JBuilder7 and a similar compiler error resulted with the package name.
