javac question

[Raphael Kou]

K&B Book Chapter 10 Question 5


Given deault classpath:
/foo

Directory structure:
foo
|
test
|
xcom
|--A.class
|--B.java

And these two files:

package xcom;
public class A {}

package xam
public class B extends A { }

So the only right answer is:
Set the current directory to "test" then invoke
javac -classpath . xcom/B.java

But this answer looks also right for me:
Set the current directory to "xcom" then invoke
javac -classpath . B.java

Why is this answer false?
