package bizarre error !

Hi,
I have a strnage error with packaging.
I have the 2 following files in directory
e:\dev\src\Java-Tutorial\coreservlets\
ServletUtilities.java

package coreservlets;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
/**
 * Example showing the use of parameter passing 
 * 
 * */
public class ShowMessage extends HttpServlet{
    
    private String message;
    private String defaultMessage="No message";
    private int repeats = 1;
    public void init(ServletConfig config)
        throws ServletException {
        //always FIRST call the parent constructor 
        super.init(config);
        message = config.getInitParameter("message");
        if (message == null){
            message = defaultMessage;
        }
        try{
            String repeatString = config.getInitParameter("repeats");
            repeats = Integer.parseInt(repeatString);
        }catch(NumberFormatException e){
        }                   
    }
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException,IOException{
        
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); 
        String title = "The ShowMessage Servlet";
        out.println(ServletUtilities.headWithTitle(title) +
                "<BODY BGCOLOER=\"#FDF5E6\">\n" +
                "<H! LIGN=CENTER>" + title +"</H1>");
        for(int i=0;i<repeats;i++){
            out.println(message+"<BR>");
        }
        out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
       
    }
    
}

when I compile Showmessages.java file I got the following error:

My classpath is correctly set(I think !)
CLASSPATH=.;E:\Dev\Tools\mysql-connector-java-2.0.14\mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar;E:\Dev\Tools\Tomcat4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;E:\Dev\src
Even if I put this dorectory in classpath I got the same error:
E:\Dev\src\Servlet-Tutorial\coreservlets
ServletUtilities compilation is fine.

Thanks for help.

You need to add E:\Dev\src\Servlet-Tutorial\ to your classpath. Remember that packages are similar to directories. In fact, the directory a package is located in need to have the same name as the package. If you add the above directory to the classpath, it will then look there for the coreservlets directory.
