How to compile with packages created by me

Question

I have created two packages:
one is called agui and one is called agui.event.
agui is located at c:\agui\src\a\agui and
agui.event is located at c:\agui\src\a\agui\event.
My class file is called HelloWorld and it is located at
c:\agui\example.
What should be the command line to compile my class file?
is it
c:\agui\example>javac -classpath c:\agui\src\a\agui *.java?
I tried it, but it doesn't work!
Thanks.

Hi,
When you are compiling a java file with a package you must use the -d option.
Just for simplicity, if you change directory to the source file e.g. c:\test and the files have package name pack1 and filename File1.java -
If you run javac File1.java it will compile fine but leave the class file in the default directory i.e. c:\test
If you run javac -d File1.java the package name will be noted and new sub-directory for pack1 will be created with the new File1.class in it.
Check it out using the -d option and not using to see the difference.
