PACKAGES

[Harjeet Dadwal]

I'm doing following code but it doesn't work, why ?
I'M EXPLAINGING HEREUNDER:-
I created a directory in jdk1.3\bin named as p1
and then created a file named as Class1.java in p1
eg.

<font size=+0>
package p1;
public class Class1
{
      public static void greetings()
      {
              System.out.println("Have a nice day!!!");
      }
}</font>

then I compiled it as:-
f:\jdk1.3\bin\p1>javac Class1.java
Then I created a directory p2 in jdk1.3\bin\p1.
and created a java source file named as Class2.java
eg.

<font size=+0>
package p1.p2;
public class Class2
{
      public static void bid()
      {
            System.out.println("Bye!!!");
      }
}</font>

and then compiled it as:-
f:\jdk1.3\bin\p1\p2>javac Class2.java
And then created a file at root directory of p1 named as Importer.java
eg.

<font size=+0>
import p1.*;
import p1.p2.*;
class Importer
{
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {   
            Class1 obj1=new Class1();
            Class2 obj2=new Class2();
            System.out.println("Packages are fine...");
      }
}</font>

then I compiled it as:-
f:\jdk1.3\bin>javac Importer.java
BUT IT GIVES ERROR AT COMPILE TIME AS:- Class1 is a bad file name
no class file in p1.Class1 specify the correct path
But if change the code of as in Importer.java as import p1.Class1
and import p1.p2.Class2
then it comiples successfully and run fine.
PLEASE TELL WHY IT DOESN'T RUN USING "*" ???

Your java files are just fine!
But when you compile it use.

javac p1/Class1.java
javac p1/p2/Class2.java
javac Importer.java
java Importer

and you should do fine!
