Can't compile my class

[Mathias Nilsson]

Hi ranchers!
I have I problem that hasn't been a problem before. I got it after formatting my Harddrive.
I have compiled a test file like this.
Blocker.java

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
public class Blocker extends Object{

public void paintBlock( Graphics g , int x, int y ){

g.setColor( Color.RED );
g.fillRect( x , y , 10 , 10 );

}

}

When I try to use it in my FBMain file I get a compile error.

import Blocker; // I KNOW THIS ISN'T NESSESARY
import java.awt.Graphics;

public class FBMain extends java.applet.Applet {



public void init(){
}

public void start(){

}

public void stop(){

}

public void paint( Graphics g ){
g.fillRect( 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 );
g.fillRect( 10 , 22 , 10 , 10 );
g.fillRect( 10 , 34 , 10 , 10 );
}




}

When I remove the import Blocker; statement it works. I can't use the Blocker class in my FBMain class. Here is my PATH and classpath in Windows 2000

 CLASSPATH: C:\jdk1.4\lib\;c:\jdk1.4\bin\;F:\Edge Soft\Work\java\;
 PATH: C:\jdk1.4\lib\;c:\jdk1.4\bin\;F:\Edge Soft\Work\java\;

My files are located in F:\Edge Soft\Work\java\
Please help!

Ehhh...
I created a new directory "test" under my java catalouge. I put package test in my Blocker file. I used import test.Blocker; instead and it worked??? Why? Anyone?

"import ClassName" is illegal as per the JLS: you can't import names out of the default package. Older JDK compilers allowed this anyway, but now the rule is being enforced. Presumably when you reformatted, you upgraded your JDK version.

Thanks!
