Code compiling problem

Question

I have written a small sample code with 2 classes(Money.java and MoreMoney.java),where the latter has the main function. The problem is i cant compile and run these programs using commmand prompt in windows but they work just fine when using netbeans.
Env. variable is not a problem as money.java compiles using command prompt. Importing is not an issue as they are in the same package. Nor is package an issue, coz i have written the package name at the start of the code. Please suggest.Thank you in advance.
The code is as follows:
* Money.java
* Created on August 8, 2006, 11:09 AM
* To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager
* and open the template in the editor.
package javaapplication1;
* @author oracle
public class Money
private float amount;
private int dollars;
private float cents;
public Money(int amount)
dollars=amount/100;
cents=amount%100;
public float getdollar()
return this.dollars;
public float getcents()
return this.cents;
public String toString()
return("You Entered "+dollars+" dollars and "+cents+" cents");
* MoreMoney.java
* Created on August 1, 2006, 5:36 PM
* To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager
* and open the template in the editor.
package javaapplication1;
* @author oracle
public class MoreMoney
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args)
// TODO code application logic here
Money m=new Money(143);
System.out.println(m);
Any other tips on my code are also welcome since i am new to java and would like to learn good 'coding habits'.

Answer 1

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I already have my .class files & my .java files in the JavaApplication1 folder. I have done as instructed on the webpage (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jdk/install-windows.html#Environment) and also have set the environment variable, CLASSPATH to the value:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.5.0_07\bin\JavaApplication1\src\ JavaApplication1
When i say env. varible it is the 'systems variable' of the env. variable category. Am i correct on that one?
I have another piece of information. After setting the CLASSPATH to its new value and restarting command prompt, it did not automatically go to that directory/path. It instead gave me the default path(C:/Documetns and Settings/oracle>)
I had to manually change the directory until i had the above mentioned path. Is there something fishy about my DOS-prompt or is that the way it is supposed to be?
So inspite all this experimentation the problem still persists. Why wont my code compile from DOS-Prompt? Thank you for your patience and please advice.
