classpath question

Posted: Mar 16, 2003 7:47 PM

I am confused. Here is the story. I have the following directory structure:
c:\MyDir\check
I have the following two files (Mine.java and Test.java) in c:\MyDir directory.

package check;
public class Mine
{
public int x = 9;
}

import check.*;
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Mine m = new Mine();
}
}

Here are the steps I follow:
set classpath=.;c:\MyDir;
javac Mine.java
move Mine.class check (I am using MS Windows; moving the .class file into check directory)
javac Test.java
Test.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor Mine ()
location: class Mine
Mine m = new Mine();
^
1 error

My solution is when I move Mine.java out of c:\MyDir then everything works fine.
Why???

The problem lies in your CLASSPATh settings. Since your classpath lists current directory (.) first, it checks for Mine.class in current directory first, which is causing the problem. Better move (or keep) the Mine.java somewhere, which is not accessible in CLASSPATH before the actual C:\MyDIR\check . This is solve the problem. Or, you may want to set different class path for compiling the source code and different for running the class. However, the problem lies in your CLASSPATH settings.

Thanks
