Package does not exist error!

Question

Hello, I'm having trouble getting an application which uses a package to compile. This is from "Teach yourself Java in 21 day".
The files are:-
Item.java
package ecommerce;
import java.util.*;
public class Item implements Comparable {
     private String id;
     private String name;
     private double retail;
     private int quantity;
     private double price;
     Item(String idIn, String nameIn, String retailIn, String quanIn)
          id = idIn;
          name = nameIn;
          retail = Double.parseDouble(retailIn);
          quantity = Integer.parseInt(quanIn);
          if(quantity > 400)
               price = retail * .5D;
          else if (quantity > 200)
               price = retail * .6D;
          else
               price = retail * .7D;
          price = Math.floor( price * 100 + .5) / 100;
     public int compareTo(Object obj)
          Item temp = (Item)obj;
          if (this.price < temp.price)
               return 1;
          else if (this.price > temp.price)
               return -1;
          return 0;
     public String getId()
          return id;
     public String getName()
          return name;
     public double getRetail()
          return retail;
     public int getQuantity()
          return quantity;
     public double getPrice()
          return price;
Storefront.java
package ecommerce;
import java.util.*;
public class Storefront {
     private LinkedList catalog = new LinkedList();
     public void addItem(String id, String name, String price, String quant)
          Item it = new Item(id, name, price, quant);
          catalog.add(it);
     public Item getItem(int i)
          return (Item)catalog.get(i);
     public int getSize()
          return catalog.size();
     public void sort()
          Collections.sort(catalog);
and the main class - Giftshop.Java
import ecommerce.*;
public class GiftShop{
     public static void main(String[] arguments){
          Storefront store = new Storefront();
          store.addItem("C01", "MUG", "9.99", "150");
          store.addItem("C02", "LG MUG", "12.99", "82");
          store.addItem("C03", "MOUSEPAD", "10.49", "800");
          store.addItem("D01", "T SHIRT", "16.99", "90");
          store.sort();
          for(int i = 0; i < store.getSize(); i++) {
               Item show = (Item)store.getItem(i);
               System.out.println("\nItem ID: " + show.getId() +
                         "\nName: " + show.getName() +
                         "\nRetail Price: $" + show.getRetail() +
                         "\nPrice: $" + show.getPrice() +
                         "\nQuantity: " + show.getQuantity());
Item.java and Storefront.java are stored in:-
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12\package\ecommerce
GiftShop.java is stored in:-
C:\J21work
My classpath is set to:-
C:\J21work
CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12\lib\tools.jar;C:\J21Work\;C:\J21Work\package\ecommerce\
When I attempt to compile GiftShop.Java I get the following error message:-
C:\J21work>javac GiftShop.java
GiftShop.java:1: package ecommerce does not exist
import ecommerce.*;
^
GiftShop.java:5: cannot access Storefront
bad class file: C:\J21Work\package\ecommerce\Storefront.class
class file contains wrong class: ecommerce.Storefront
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
th.
Storefront store = new Storefront();

Thanks for taking the time to read this question.

Hi,
I have the same problem with the same code. I am trying to find what is wrong with my classpath.
The class files of Item and Storefront are in C:\dev\java\org\cadenhead\ecommerce
The GiftShop.java is in C:\dev\java\
My classpath is .;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\lib\tools.jar;C:\dev\java\org\cadenhead\ecommerce;C:\dev\java;C:\J21work
I appreciate any help.
