Errors with sdk 1.4.1, but not with 1.3??

Question

I just upgraded to the j2sdk 1.4.1 yesterday from 1.3, and I'm getting a weird compile time error from an import statement that never used to happen. I'm just importing another class I've made, other imports from java.util etc. work fine, but not classes that I have made. Here's the code that gives an error.
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import listDir; // only this line gives an error
and here's the error.
C:\kevin\listAll.java:4: '.' expected
import listDir;
^
1 error
Anyone have any idea why that happens? Have the rules changed for importing since sdk 1.3? This worked just fine 2 days ago with 1.3. Thanks for any help.

Hi all,
This is what I found will work with the stand alone classes (not package classes).
1) Do not use import MyClass; in your java app.
2) MyClass should be in the same directory as you java app, unless you have set up your CLASSPATH to point to MyClass.
Here is the listing
//import MyClass;
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String strNewPwd = null;
System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
//Do something to call your class
System.out.println(myClass.getMsg());
It seems to work now. If someone knows where I can find an updated documents on how to include classes on 1.4.1, please reply to this message.
Beside this problem, I am trying to use Tomcat 4.1 to develope a web application. I have similar problems finding my classes. On Tomcat 4.0, the app runs fine. I've try the above work around (not include import MyClass), but still does not work. Any suggestions?
