Problem Compiling

[Dan Grindstaff]

I am having trouble compiling several classes that have a package name. They are in the correect directory and the first Interface class compiles but the other two will not. The second class gives the following error message: 'MovieQuestion.java:4:cannot resolve symbol
symbol: class MovieInterface
location: class iVideos.MovieQuestion
public class MovieQuestion implements MovieInterface {

1 error

Could someone help me interpret this error message? Thanks.

Is the directory where the needed classes (in this case MovieInterface included in classpath?

[Dan Grindstaff]

Yes, all classes in classpath.

[Dan Grindstaff]

Yes, all classes in classpath.

Does the MovieInterface interface have the package statement in it?

[Dan Grindstaff]

Yes, MovieInterface has package statement.

What is in your CLASSPATH?

[Jesper de Jong]

If MovieInterface is in a package, for example a package named "org.mypackage", then its sourcefile must be in a subdirectory org\mypackage, and you must add the directory that contains the "org" directory to the classpath.

For example, suppose you have a directory C:\Java\Project\org\mypackage that contains MovieInterface.java, you must add the directory C:\Java\Project to the classpath.
