annotations : a little compilation problem

[Celinio Fernandes]

Hi,
I am playing with annotations with JDK 1.5 and I have a small ridiculous problem
when I try to compile a class

    
Note.java
package com.mypackage; 
public @interface Note {
}

MyClass.java
package com.mypackage;
@Note
public class MyClass {
@Note
public MyClass() { 
 }
}

C:\temp2\b\com\mypackage
C:\temp2\b\com\mypackage\javac Note.java
==> compilation OK

C:\temp2\b\com\mypackage>javac -classpath .;C:\jdk1.5.0_06\lib\tools.jar MyClass.java
MyClass.java:3: cannot find symbol
symbol: class Note
@Note
^
MyClass.java:6: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Note
location: class com.mypackage.MyClass
@Note
^
2 errors

Why do I get this error ? Why is Note not recognized ? the generated bytecode Note.class is
where it should be, that is C:\temp2\b\com\mypackage\Note.class

Thanks for helping

you can close this thread,
my classpath was wrong.
javac -classpath C:\temp2\b\ MyClass.java :roll:
