Ojc bug compiling simple java class

Question

Hi,
I am trying to compile some very old Java code with JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0 (Build 1913) and running into a very strange problem.
I cannot use the "import" statement to import classes, which are stored in root without a package name specification.
I think that the simple example will describe it better:
Class1
public class Class1
  public Class1()
  public String myGetClassName()
    return "Class1";
}Class2
import Class1;
public class Class2
  public Class2()
  public static void main(String[] args)
    Class2 class2 = new Class2();
    Class1 cl1 = new Class1();
    System.out.println(cl1.myGetClassName());
}The error message I am getting is pointing to the line 1 in the Class2.java, complaining that it needs a dot (.) after the Class1
If I compile these classes with javac - it works fine
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Vitaliy

Answer 1

yes, you are right, but then if I import the Class1 into, lets say, mypackage.Class3, I am having the same issue.
Actually I received the problem resolution from Oracle. Here it is

Hello,
There is no problem with your java source: no problem using your javac
command (I think older than 1.4.x).
You meet here the new JAVA feature which says something like "each
class should belong to a package for the security problem". Please go to
the sun site for more information on the new JDK feature.I was using JDK1.3.1_13 to compile the code with javac
