Name does matter

Posted by Kishori Sharan on November 26, 2000 at 1:13 PM

I know your problem. You are putting your class in a package like
package lu.ping ;

class Test {

}

In this case your program will compile fine if you give a command
javac Test.java
However, it won't run when you give a command
java Test
You have to give a command
java lu.ping.Test
I mean you have to give a fully-qualified name of your class Test. And make sure that you have set the classpath correctly. If you have a directory strucure like
C:\lu\ping\Test.java
then you must include C:\ in your classpath variable in autoexec.bat if you are using windows95/98.

Thanx
Kishori
