Error while importing user created packages

Question

Hi ,
Complexity--- Novice
Problem Description
I am trying to run a simple package related program.
The package file is perfectly compiled and stored in the required path.
When I try to access this package from another file -- the import statement does not seem to be working.
It reports an error. However If I use the <pacakage>.<classname> it works perfectly fine.
I have the following files
1) The package file : Get.java
2) The package accessing file : Test.java
///////////////Get.java/////////////////////
package get;
public class Get
     public Get()
     public String iGet()
          return("Hello World!");
/////////////////////Test.java/////////////////
import get.*;
class Test 
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Get g= new Get();     //Here instead I use get.Get g= new get.Get() it works fine
          System.out.println("Hello World!");
///////////////////End of Files////////////////
/////// Compiling/////////////
c:\packages>dir *.java    //These are the only 2 files in the directory
10/05/2005  12:02 AM               147 Test.java
10/04/2005  11:55 PM               125 Get.java
c:\packages>javac -d . *.java
.\Get.java:3: duplicate class: get.Get
public class Get
       ^
Test.java:7: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : constructor Get  ()
location: class Get
                Get g= new Get();
                       ^
2 errorsI think the problem is clearly explained.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

When the file Test.java is compiled all it needs is
get/Get.class
There is no need for the file Get.java to be in
get/Get.javaI agree with these two statements and it is true that using -d will create the Get.class in the correct directory. However, it looks like you might have Get.java in the Classpath and you are using "import get.*;" in Test.java. You may be confusing the compiler because javac will automatically try to compile source code for dependent classes. I think it will work if you change the import to "import get.Get;"
