I use this to compile a class but why do I not see the .class version being set into the appropriate directory? When I do this, I get no .class file. If I compile without the -d, the .class version will end up in the same directory as the .java version.

Into which directory are you trying to put the class file when compiling?

It doesn't seem to make a difference. If I have a package com.test in the class and I try to compile with javac -d com\test cl.java it will say something like you can't compile into com\test\com\test. All I want to do is compile a class from the dos prompt and see it end up in the correct package/directory. Paul

-d is going to be the "base" directory. Like, the same thing that you'd use in CLASSPATH. So if you have a class called MyJunk in package "com.foo", and you want the thing to end up in /home/devel/classes/com/boo/MyJunk.class then you compile with javac -d /home/devel/classes MyJunk.java and you'd execute it with javac -classpath /home/devel/classes com.foo.MyJunk
