Import error

[Lydia Su]

i have the javabook package but the compiler keeps giving me an error "Package javabook not found in import"
why does it keep giving me this???

check CLASSPATH and make sure that it includes the correct path to javabook. If your java program is in the same directory as javabook, be sure to include ".;" in your CLASSPATH string.

If your javabook package is jar'd up, you have to include the actual jar name (add the end of the proper path) in your classpath. Maybe that's it?

Also, if you're using an IDE of some sort, be aware that not all of them use system classpath settings. You would need to look for something like a 'library' to add jars to, or something similar.

It SOUNDS like your import statement is coded wrong. Can you show us what you coded, AND what your actual classpath is?
