Problems creating package...

Question

Hi..
I've really gone bonkers breaking my head over this package related problem.. Wd greatly appreciate if someone can help me out.
Here is the code:
//Test1.java
//location: c:\mydir\jawa\examples\fd
package jawa.examples.fd;
public class Test1
Test1()
System.out.println("Inside constructor..");
void method1Test1()
System.out.println("Inside method1Test1.");
public static void main(String[] args)
Test1 t1 = new Test1();
t1.method1Test1();
System.out.println("Inside main of Test1.");
Quite simple, this code works fine as long as I introduce the package statement.. It compiles fine, but at runtime it throws a bunch of errors:
C:\mydir\Jawa\Examples\Fd>javac Test1.java
C:\mydir\Jawa\Examples\Fd>java Test1
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test1 (wrong name: jawa/examples/fd/Test1)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)
C:\mydir\Jawa\Examples\Fd>java -classpath c:\mydir Test1
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test1
Don't know why it fails to recognize Test1.class file sitting under c:\mydir\jawa\examples\fd..
However, it does run fine from C:\mydir
C:\mydir>java jawa.examples.fd.Test1
Inside constructor..
Inside method1Test1.
Inside main of Test1.
Any idea what's happening and why I'm facing this problem? I'm running jdk1.4.2, i also have Oracle9i installed, guess it has jdk1.3.1 bundled in it.. I don't see classpath in the list of environment variables..
Thanks in advance!!

Sorry, I tried to answer without reading all the way through.
The JVM does recognize the class file. This command
C:\mydir\Jawa\Examples\Fd>java Test1
tries to run Test1.class and discovers that the package is wrong. The JVM gives you an error to that effect. This is the way packages work. Maybe I don't understand your question.
