Again classpath problem

Question

again classpath problem.... i have tried to solve it in many ways but all failed. here is one
instance of my effort which did not give me success.
i have a FOLDER > c:/com/abc/def/ijk
and files......
MyClass.java
==============
package com.abc.def.ijk
class MyClass
// blah
// blah
}c:\com\abc\def\ijk>javac MyClass.java ===>compiled fine and created a class file.
and also one more file.....
OneMoreClass.java
=================
import com.abc.def.ijk.MyClass
class OneMoreClass
// blah
// blah
}c:\com\abc\def\ijk>javac OneMoreClass.java ===> Error!!! package com.abc.def.ijk does not exist !!!!
how can i solve it ?

Answer 1

yea, this works....eariler i also usued to do this
way. but this time i forgot.
by the way, why individually it did not work !!!.Because you were in the package directory itself, and the classpath was set to the cwd, so java was looking for package directories at this level.
and also when i specify directly by
c:\com\abc\def\ijk
javac  -classpath c:\com\abc\def\ijk\MyClass
OneMoreClass.java ...it does not work!!.
STRANGE! why ?Because by stating the package directory as classpath, you do the same as explained above. Stay out of package directories, stay one level above them, don't regard them as common directories. When declaring classpaths, don't mention package directories but the directories that contain them.
