Hi Jesper,

Thanks for the response.But Iam still confused.
I have kept the fruit.java file in "Food" Directory and I have kept the apple.java file in "Fruit" directory under "Food" Directory.
Now, Iam trying to compile these two files by being in the "Food" Directory on the command prompt. fruit.java is getting compiled but apple.java does not compile. I tried going into the "fruit" directory to compile apple.java, but again it fails. Also I tried compiling by being outside the "Food" and "Fruit" directory. Again, fruit.java compiles and apple.java does not compile.

My query is :

I can compile these two files by coming out of the "food directory " , but by having ony "food" directory and no "fruit" directory . I wanted to know whether Iam doing correct or not?

Thanks,
Adithi

Thank You Bob for your advice. I will definitely try to follow it.

Thank You Asha and Camilo.

So, should I alwaays comile apple.java by coming out of Food Directory.
Is there any way in which I can compile this file by being within the Food Directory?

Thanks,
Adithi

Hi All,

I have created a superclass as follows:

package food;
public abstract class fruit { }

I have created a subclass in a seperate file as follows :

import food.fruit;
class apple exends fruit{ }

I have created a directory called food in the directory of my class path setting.

When I am trying to compile these two files on the command prompt as below, they are getting compiled without any error

C:\jp>javac Food\fruit.java

C:\jp>javac Food\apple.java

But when Iam trying to compile them as below, Iam getting an error with the second file (apple.java) as

javac: invalid flag: .
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

C:\jp\Food>javac fruit.java

C:\jp\Food>javac . apple.java

Request help on this.

Thanks,
Adithi

Hi All,

Is it required to go through the complete "Java Code conventions" document in java.sun.com website for the SCJP 5 Exam?

Thanks,
