class in the default package not found by javac?

[Yury Ivanov]

Hi All,
I have the source directory structure like this:

+
|---Used.java
|
\---test--+- Test.java

Test.java:

 
package test;
public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      new Used();
  }
} 

Used.java:

 
public class Used {}

The current diractory is where Used.java sits.
When I invoke
javac Used.java test\Test.java
(regardless of whether I include "-classpath . " or not)
I get the compiler error:
test\Test.java:4: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Used
location: class test.Test
new Used();
^
1 error

However Used.class is compiled successfully!

Why could be this? Thanks for any help!
