Cannot find symbol even though it's there.

Question

I am having an issue compiling a java class in oracle. I have a java class that will run an executable. I want to call that java class from a difference class and when I try to compile that class, it fails with Cannot Find Symbol.
This is what errors, and it errocs when I declare ec as ExecCMD.
CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "MS_FS_FUNCTIONS" AS
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import ms_fs_execcmd.ExecCMD.*;
public class exportPDF
    public static String export_PDF(String p_pdf_contents)
        ExecCMD ec ;
       ec = new ExecCMD("ExportPDFData.exe");
        return "string";
This is the class im trying to call.
CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED MS_FS_EXECCMD AS
package ms_fs_execcmd;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExecCMD
    public static void main(String args[])
        try
        {   if (args.length > 0 ){        
                Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                Process proc = rt.exec(args[0]);
                InputStream stderr = proc.getErrorStream();
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                String line = null;
                System.out.println("<ERROR>");
                while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(line);
                System.out.println("</ERROR>");
                int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
                System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
        } catch (Throwable t)
            t.printStackTrace();
here is the error message.
[Error]  (0: 0): MS_FS_FUNCTIONS:11: cannot find symbol
[Error]  (0: 0): symbol  : constructor ExecCMD(java.lang.String)
[Error]  (0: 0): location: class ExecCMD

Bill,
I'm having exactly the same problem with trying to install Portal 4.0. Has
anybody given you an answer to this problem?
Thanks,

I recently moved my evaluation copy of WebLogic 6.1 SP 1 from /opt to
/usr/local on my RedHat 7.1 box. WebLogic runs fine from the new
location. However, when I try to install my evaluation copy of WLPortal
4.0, it insists that WebLogic 6.1 SP 1 is not installed in my BEA_HOME,
even though it is. I've uninstalled and re-installed WebLogic many
times, but it still won't work. Does the uninstall miss some files? Has
anyone else had this problem?
