I have two packages, each package is dependent on the other. (Package A uses classes from package B. And package B uses classes from package A.) How can I compile each package, so they see the other dependent package? My compiler says it cannot resolve symbols since it cannot find the compiled packages.
I am using JCreator as my development environment. I don't know how to arrange the packages in directories to resolve these dependencies. Does JCreator require the .java files stored in a particular directory structure? Even classes within the same package can't see each other and I can't compile them.

By default, Java requires that the directory structure reflect the package structure. Some tools don't enforce this, but I recommend doing it anyway.
You also have to reflect the dependencies in the import statements.

What happens if you just move every single source file into the same directory and then execute the following command in that directory?
javac -d . *.java
For help with JCreator, I'm moving this to the IDEs and Other Tools forum... [ September 28, 2004: Message edited by: Dirk Schreckmann ]
