Java:57: cannot find symbol class _cls2

Due to our loss of a software engineer who started this ongoing project many many moons ago I've come to compile it, but have the following error.
I'm using netbeans 5.5 and JKD1.5 U12
I've fixed all of the errors apart from this one:-
table = new _cls2(model);
Now the _cls2 class has not be defined anywhere, so I presume it should have been included within an old library file.... or have I got this worng.
Any help appreciated I seem to be coming across the same websites over and over again whilst searching.....

if its included in some other library you have somewhere then you need to import that library.

Actually, you have NO CLUE what he's trying to doActually he said what he is trying to do in his posting. It's no mystery. But that's all the information that's available. If you know something that isn't posted here why not say so?
Your reply was a snide, rude, "You're stupid for doing it that way" answerMy reply was neither snide nor rude and implied none of what you impute to it. It was a proper and constructive suggestion. You are entitled to disagree with it, but that doesn't justify this immoderate outburst.
Bottom line is, you chose to be nastyBottom line is you're just making this up. You are imputing motives to me without evidence. Don't do that.
You are the type of person that makes searching forums and posting questions for assistance a near waste of time.I doubt that you'll find many regulars here that would agree with that assertion. When you have made over 16,000 posts here over ten years as I have, come back and we'll discuss it some more.
Go back to grade school and ...I suggest you try it yourself. You're not adding anything except noise to the discussion. Try curbing your temper, and while you're at it have a good look at the Code of Conduct for these forums. You're verging on personal abuse here.
And, additionally, I've used ANT in the past. Batch files are FAR AND AWAY easier to set up.In your opinion. I disagree entirely, and I have eleven years' experience with Java to back it up.
As for CLASSPATH, I haven't done anything about setting it beyond installing the JDK since about 1999, and it has a dot in it as we speak.

Cannot find symbol : class ! problem

Hello,
I have 2 java files (CD.java & CDCatalog.java) in a package called "testPackage". I can compile CD.java, but CDCatalog.java (that creates CD instances) gives following error - cannot find symbol symbol : class CD
Below are the 2 files, please tell me why I get this errors , thanks!
1) CDCatalog.java
package testPackages;
import java.util.Hashtable;
//import testPackages.CD;
public class CDCatalog {
/** The CDs, by title */
private Hashtable catalog;
public CDCatalog( ) {
catalog = new Hashtable( );
// Seed the catalog
addCD(new CD("Nickel Creek", "Nickel Creek", "Sugar Hill"));
addCD(new CD("Let it Fall", "Sean Watkins", "Sugar Hill"));
addCD(new CD("Aerial Boundaries", "Michael Hedges", "Windham Hill"));
addCD(new CD("Taproot", "Michael Hedges", "Windham Hill"));
public void addCD(CD cd) {
if (cd == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The CD object cannot be null.");
catalog.put(cd.getTitle( ), cd);
2) CD.java
package testPackages;
public class CD {
private String title;
private String artist;
private String label;
public CD( ) {
// Default constructor
public CD(String title, String artist, String label) {
this.title = title;
this.artist = artist;
this.label = label;
public String getTitle( ) {
return title;
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
public String getArtist( ) {
return artist;
public void setArtist(String artist) {
this.artist = artist;
public String getLabel( ) {
return label;
public void setLabel(String label) {
this.label = label;
public String toString( ) {
return "'" + title + "' by " + artist + ", on " +
label;
}

just tried it as well, no problems, provided you
compile CD.java firstI just tried from the shell ans look at this...

I'll dig some more. It has to be related to the classpath some how..

"cannot find symbol : class Scanner" error message

I have an error message that says:
"cannot find symbol : class Scanner"
I tried typing at the top of the program
import java.util.Scanner;but I still have the same error message.
What should I do ?
Thank you in advance

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html
Since:
1.5
look at the javadoc, it says since 1.5 so it's not there in earlier versions.
just a guess

Java is case-sensitive. Don't type "Out" and "Println" when you're supposed to type "out" and "println".
Try this:
System.out.println("john");

Do i need to import the math? i read from somewhere that Math class is contained in the Java.lang package, and we therefore don't have to import it ...

I tried again, same error.
Edited Maths.max to only max

Cannot find symbol class Scanner

hi all
i'm defining a class within a project so i can use the class inside my program, but the line:
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);generates an error with my compiler:
cannot find symbol class Scanner
please help

you aren't using jdk 5 or higher then. that's when scanner was added to the jdk.
download a modern jdk and you'll be fine.

"cannot find symbol class studentList" error

Hi I get this error
"cannot find symbol class studentList", but this class is at the same file and also it is in the same folder. so what's wrong .. and I checked the spelling it's the same.
I should create an object named myList of type studentList
and second, I call method menu() and pass it myList as actual parameter.
so I called the function menu which is should be in the main too
like this
myList.menu();
and menu method accepts as parameter an object of type studentList. and display the menu for the user to choose..
here is part my program:
public class ListTest
{ public void menu(Student L) // accepts parameter
               System.out.println("");
            System.out.println("Choose a number between 1 to 4");
                  System.out.println("1-Print Info of A Student ");
            System.out.println("2-Print Info of All Students ");
           System.out.println("3-Display grade of A Specific student");
            System.out.println("4-Exit");
            System.out.println("");
          int choice = Stdin.readInteger();
          while (choice != 5)
         switch (choice) {
             case 1:
         L.PrintAStudent(int L);
         break;
          case 2:
        L.PrintAll();
        break;
          case 3:
          L.DisplayGPA();
          break;
             case 3:
            System.exit(0);
           break;
           default:
           System.out.println("wrong Number");
          System.out.println("Enter a number between 1 to 4 ");
           System.out.println("Enter 4 to Exit");
            break;
            System.out.println("");
            System.out.println("Choose a number between 1 to 4");
            System.out.println("1-Print Info of A Student ");
            System.out.println("2-Print Info of All Students ");
           System.out.println("3-Display grade of A Specific student");
            System.out.println("4-Exit");
            System.out.println("");
            choice = Stdin.readInteger();
     }// end method menu
     public static void main(String args[ ])
     { studentList myList = new studentList();//myList object is created
myList.menu();
                         }//end main
}// end of class ListTest


you have mentioned about the class "studentList" but that class is not to be found in the code you have pasted. its instead "ListTest". And the "menu" function seems to b a part of "ListTest" class. Can you provide the structure of the classes "studentList" and "Student" so that the problem can be more clearly understood?
also you are using the variable "Stdin" in the line int choice = Stdin.readInteger(); where as you have not declared this variable.
in the "switch" statement you are calling two different functions for the same case "3" where as it should be "case 3" and "case 4" respectively.
in the "main" you are calling the "menu" function without any parameter while you actually want to pass argument of type "studentList".

Cannot find symbol - class whatever ... Arraylists!

Hi all,
Having a problem creating an Arraylist. Firstly, I thought you could have an ArrayList of what ever you wanted. For example, private ArrayList<Anything> myarraylist... that would be an ArrayList of "anything".
I'm trying to create an ArrayList to store locations. However, these locations are stored inside the objects of another class (as a field).
When I go to do private ArrayList<Locations> it says it cannot find symbol - class locations. Obviously it's looking for a class that doesn't exist. How would I store the locations of rallies into the collection, that are stored inside the object of another class (i.e. a RoadTrip object which has details of dates, location, codes etc).
Hope you can understand that...!
Cheers

You can create as many RoadTrip ArrayLists as you want, as long as the variables that point to the ArrayLists have unique names.
ArrayList<RoadTrip> al1 = new ArrayList<RoadTrip>();
ArrayList<RoadTrip> al2 = new ArrayList<RoadTrip>();Nothing wrong with that.

Cannot find symbol class

I am having a "Cannot find symbol" problem. My Java is a bit rusty so I'm not exactly sure what it could be. I have two classes, City and SisterCities. The SisterCities references the City class. The City class compiles fine. Both classes are part of the same package. However, when I compile SisterCities, I get the error. Could you please tell me how to get the second class to recognize the first (import, extends, not really sure. I've tried alot) Here are those two classes so far...
****** City ********
package hw01;
public class City
     public final String name;
     public final String country;
     public final City [] sisters;
public City (String name, String country)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          this.name = name;
          this.country = country;
          this.sisters = new City [0];
public City (String name, String country, City [] sisters)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          this.name = name;
          this.country = country;
          this.sisters = new City [sisters.length];
          for (int i = 0; i < sisters.length; i++) {
               this.sisters[i] = sisters;
public void setSisters (City [] sisters)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          for (int i = 0; i < sisters.length; i++) {
               this.sisters[i] = sisters[i];
public String getName ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          return this.name;
public String getCountry ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          return this.country;
public City [] getSisters ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          return this.sisters;
******** SisterCities *********
package hw01;
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class SisterCities
     public final LinkedList cityList;
public SisterCities ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
public void addCity (City city)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          this.cityList.add(city);
public int getNumCities ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
public City getCity (int i)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");

final attribute members like "cityList" must be initialised when they're declared or inside the constructors
if you want to compile, you'll also have to uncomment the "throws" in your methods (or return a value)
(pay attention to the error messages the compiler gives you and paste them all when posting questions)

Cannot find Symbol :class CLOB

Hi,
I am using JDK1.5.0_06 and Oracle8.1.7.
When i compile java program I am getting the following error
cannot find symbol
symbol : class CLOB
I have added classes12.zip into classpath.
Can anybody tell me why this errpr comes? Is there any other files instead of classes12.zip to be added (since its JDK1.5 version? )
Thanks in advance

you have mentioned about the class "studentList" but that class is not to be found in the code you have pasted. its instead "ListTest". And the "menu" function seems to b a part of "ListTest" class. Can you provide the structure of the classes "studentList" and "Student" so that the problem can be more clearly understood?
also you are using the variable "Stdin" in the line int choice = Stdin.readInteger(); where as you have not declared this variable.
in the "switch" statement you are calling two different functions for the same case "3" where as it should be "case 3" and "case 4" respectively.
in the "main" you are calling the "menu" function without any parameter while you actually want to pass argument of type "studentList".
