Asking you the two problems:

[Tu Ran]

package Base;
class Base{
protected void amethod(){
System.out.println("amethod");
}}
class Class1 extends Base{
public static void main(String argv[]){
Base b = new Base();
b.amethod();
}
}//Why it can compile but throw a "NoClassDefFoundErro"

second:
In the SCJP examination,whether it should need us to different from reserved words
and key words or not :
if it demanded,please tell me what are the keywords,and what are reserved
words in SCJP examination?
Thanks a lot~~

1. What is the stack trace exactly? What is command line you use to run the program? Sounds like a classpath problem to me...
Try going into the directory Base and type:
java -classpath . Base.Class1
or if you are in directory Base you can type
java -classpath .. Base.Class1
let me know
2. Keywords have been heavily discussed in the following threads:

I ran your code, and no problem with it. The problem is probably with your class path. Did
you run your code inside package or outside it?

Hi Valentin & Holmes,
Do I have to create Base directory and move the .class files to Base dir by my own? Is there a way to get it done automatically? Since javac doesn't create Base dir for you even though we specify the package as Base in our java file.
Thanks,
Jenny

I think you cannot automatically generate a package specified by you from my understanding.
What if you have many files in one package? You must move all these files inside this package if
packane name for these files are specified on the first line of your code. Unless you do not specify, then you will have a default package that is your current directory.
