Import a java file?

Question

Hi,
I created a StockTablePanel.java file, and then compiled it fine.
Then, I wrote in a new file, StockTableTabPanel.java, the followings:
//top:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
// Import our other components
import StockTablePanel;
(other code)
It failed in compile, and the error is:
'.' expected
import StockTablePanel;
^
What is the problem and its solution?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

the correct syntax is:
import your.domain.name.projectname..StockTablePanel;and you also have to store your class StockTablePanel in this package:
package your.domain.name.projectname; //define package name for this class
public class StockTablePanel {
