Calling a class from another one (newbie)

Question

(cib; 2003-oct28)
Hi,
PLugin for JSPWIKI;
Error when calling a class from a plugin.
Why is it wrong to call the class :
public class XercesChecker {
public static void main(String[] args) {
by:
String filepath = (fileList.getPath());
XercesChecker xc = new XercesChecker(filepath);
---COMPILATION ERROR MESSAGE-------*
javac -classpath"../;E:\prog\Tomcat41\webapps\JSPWiki\WEB-INF\lib\JSPWiki.jar"
XercesCheckerLoopPlugin.java
XercesCheckerLoopPlugin.java:40: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor XercesChecker (java.lang.String)
location: class vendo.XercesChecker
XercesChecker xc = new XercesChecker(filepath);

I do not see a constructor in the XercesChecker class that accepts a String.
