Hi all,
I was using jdk1.2.2 (well might sound too old but thats what it is) on my unix system and my code was compiling okay but when I tried it on java1.4 and faced a problem.
In java1.4 I think- we have to put classes in a package as we can't use classes in the default package in the other classes which are there in some specific packages. e.g.,
if I have a directory
/usr/home/maulin/java/pk1
and i'm in /usr/home/maulin/java currently.
I have A.java in pk1 directory and A class in package pk1.
Now, I have B.java in /usr/home/maulin/java directory and B.java is not in any package.
A.java is as,
package pk1;
import B;
public class A {
public static void main(
String[] args) {
B b = new B();
}
}
B.java is as,
public class B {
}
if I remain in /usr/home/maulin/java and try to compile like,
javac pk1/A.java then it complains that it can't find class B.
This is using java1.4 if I use java1.2 then it works. Why they dis-allowed the use of 'default' package (B is in default package - the current directory)?
