The fact is all these files are located in same directory only

Hi Mandar,
How are you setting the classpath and what exactly is it set to?
Unresolved symbol can only mean that the class cannot be found in the classpath. If two files are in the same directory and one has a dependency on the other then adding '.' to the classpath is all that is needed. Questions to ask yourself. Are the files in the same directory? does either include a 'package' statement? and are you absolutely certain that the classpath is set correctly (type 'set' at the command line)? Also if you have set the CLASSPATH variable, using -classpath with the javac command will override the variable.
Check everything above and if you still have problems maybe we can get some more details if you can post the entire error message.
