Compiling files belonging to a package..URGENT!!

Question

Dear all,
c:>
|___X.java
|
|___aces___Y.java
--------------------X.java------------------------------
import aces.*;
public class X {
public X() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new X();
new Y();
System.out.print("nHello");
--------------------Y.java-----------------------
package aces;
import X;
public class Y {
public Y() {
X x = new X();
When i compile these two files in a JBuilder project
(i made sure "Y.java" is in "aces" folder and CLASSPATH is set
to "c:\")the compiler says,
"Y.java": '.' expected at line 3, column 9
"X.java": class Y not found in class X at line 10, column 9
When i try commenting line 3(import X;) of "Y.java" the error is
"Y.java": class X not found in class aces.Y at line 9, column 13
do u have any idea how to compile? thanks your attention...

Answer 1

I take it you have set the project properties correctly in JBuilder to use c:\ as the source directory?
If not that's your problem right there and it does seem to be the most likely cause.
Also, you have circular dependencies. I don't know if they're allowed (I'd imagine not) but even if they are they're extremely dirty.
How can the compiler EVER compile the one class without having a compiled class from the other one to import (which itself calls the class it's being imported to which... you get the point?).
