I have two files (Both in same directory):
Q.java (the interface):
package my.util;
public interface Q {
String pQ (String name);
and another file T.java (the class file using the interface):
package my.util;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class T implements Q {
public String pQ (String name)
return "one";
public String pQ (String name, String value)
return "two";
Q.java compiles fine, but when I compile T.java I get the following error:
T.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Q
location: class my.util.T
public class T implements Q {

hi,
set your classpath to include the Current Directory by using the following command
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\my\util;.
replace the "c:\my\util" with the path where the Directory structure my\util resides.
Also notice there is a dot (.) at the end of the Classpath, that sets the current directory to be also present in the classath.
then compile both Q.java and T.java in the following manner.
javac -d . *.java
it will automatically create the following folders and files
my
|
--- util
|
------ Q.class
------ T.class
hope this helps
cheerz
