Simple Help regarding Package

[Asad Salim]

Hello,

I have a java file.

Beverage.java stored at e:\

package cert;

class Beverage
{
}

Now , when i compile it
e:\>javac Beverage.java

It compile successfully.

I'm confused why it is not creating a folder named cert and storing Beverage.class file out there.
Instead it is creating Beverage.class at the e:\ itself.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need to specify directory using -d option, try this:

javac -d e:\ Beverage.java

If you dont specify -d then javac will put the class file in the same directory where the source file is.

"javac -d . Beverage.java" will do the same but use the current folder. Piyush Joshi's solution will always but the cert folder directly in the E: drive's root.
