same class names

[rengarajan vaikuntam]

Hi
I have one folder name C:\SAMPLES under which i have this code

public class MyFirstProg {
public static void main(String as[]) {
System.out.println("FIRST PROG IN SAMPLES FOLDER");
}
}

compiles and executes ok.

I have one more folder C:\PROJECTS in which i have a prog with same class name
public class MyFirstProg {
public static void main(String as[]) {
System.out.println("FIRST PROG IN PROJECTS FOLDER");
}
}
compiles and executes ok.

But when i go back to my samples folder ,open MyFirstProg class and execute it, to my surprise the one in the projects folder only is getting executed.
Could anyone explain why?
Thanx
renga.

Maybe this is a classpath problem!?

Just wondering are you using some kind of IDE or you execute the program manually via command prompt.

im using NetBeans IDE.
Thanx,

Well SCJP expects u 2 be a walking compiler... After reading your few other posts I can just reach the conclusion that you aint really much familiar with command prompt execution and classpath issues.
I can only advise you to leave the IDE alone initially and spend time with command prompt and start from basics....
but again these are just my thoughts...

use a different package name for both the programs and include both the directories in the classpath.Never work with orphan classes..

I think , NetBeans IDE will have a button for execution & when we will click on that it will execute the last successful file ( In WSAD , it is ) . ( In WSAD there is a option - Run as a application : for running current file )
