inheritance problem?

I have a funny inheritance problem here, which I could not understand why.
I put two java files in the "same folder", one extends the other.
The first one is:
public class New0 extends Object{}
I compiled it, no problem.
The second one is:
public class New1 extends New0{}
Now, I got error message when I try to compile this one.
The error message shows:
C:\com\cancal\New1.java:2: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class New0
location: class New1
public class New1 extends New0
^
1 error
Tool completed with exit code 1
Why the second java file cannot recoganize the first class file?They are in the same folder and they are both public. I tried to put "package com.cancal;" in each file, but still does not work
Looking for help.
Thanks

Jordan
In one file you can only have one public class. Try making the second class default (no modifier) and it should compile.

try to compile with the -classpath switch
Let's say the directory where your files are is c:\xyz
then try compiling with
javac -classpath c:\xyz New1.java

Thank you Dava and HIH!
HIH, you are right, after I tried javac -classpath :\com\cancal\New1.java, it works.
So the problem is the classpath, right?
But now the problem is, I could not find the class files in the same folder. Where does the New1.class file reside in this case?
thanks.

First, HIH means Hope It Helps. My name is Valentin as written on the left of the page... Never mind

When you compiled the source you should end up with the class file in the same directory.
You should have:
c:\xyz\New0.java
c:\xyz\New0.class
c:\xyz\New1.java
c:\xyz\New1.class
Is it not the case ?

Mr.Valentin:
No, it is not the case. After I compiled those files, I refresh the folder, but can only see the java files, no class file.
Maybe JVM default the class files to certain place?
thanks.

Jordan, don't call me Mr, JavaRanch is a friendly place

no the class files have to be there unless you specify the -d option on the command line. That's weird...
remove all files except the source from the directory and compile again with javac -classpath . *.java
Note that . denotes the current directory.

Yes Sir, it works now!
I need to set my classpath correctly.
Thank you so much!
