Can't extend my own class (why?)

Question

I am working my way through a JSP tutorial (Wrox publishing) and cannot compile my program: ChildrenBook.java
The tutorial has me extend the class Book (which I created and compiled).
The Book.class file is found in the "com\wrox\library\" directory.
Book is declared as public
It used in ChildrenBook as follows:
package com.wrox.library;
public class ChildrenBook extends Book
The file ChildrenBook.java is located in "com\wrox\library\" directory.
The error I receive from the compiler is:
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Book
I imagine I'm doing something wrong that is foolishly simple. Any thoughts are most appreciated.

Answer 1

I believe I have both classes in the same package. I
placed them both in the same directory
com\wrox\library\
In both the superclass and subclass I start with the
following code:
package com.wrox.library;
I just tried the import statement, as you suggested,
import com.wrox.library.Book;
and I get a "cannot resolve symbol" for my reference
to Book.You don't use "import" if all the classes are in the same package. The compiler and runtime environment will detect the classes.

As you stated, and this just confirms it, my program
is not recognizing the existence of my Book.class
file. I checked the properties of the file to see if
anything funky is going on with it but there is
nothing out of the ordinary.While compiling try using using -classpath directive and supply the correct class path.
