Bingo!!
You clearly typed java subDirA.subDirB.MyPgm
too many times I type java subDirA\subDirB\MyPgm
then Finally, I see/do as you advise, and of course it works
Can you explain why/how Java navigates from PROJECTS to locate files in subDirB? I would have never known to use the 'dot' format w/o your advice.
I'm modifying/extending Thinlet examples which deploy from ...thinlet\demo
I've used Eclipse with Ant build.xml for JSP/Struts projects for about a yr, but for this effort, I've simplified to cmd.exe and Notepad. I've never noticed the 'dot' format in a commandline before.
A big ThankS for the help !!
btw - have worked w/James Owens in Dallas using JESS, busns rules etc
