To use my class files in my applications

Question

Hi all!
public class Count
private int serialNumber;
private static int counter=0;
public static int getTotalCount()
return counter;
public Count()
counter++;
serialNumber=counter;
public class TestCounter
public static void main(String args[])
System.out.println("Number of counter is " +Count.getTotalCount());
Count c1=new Count();
System.out.println("Number of counter is " +Count.getTotalCount());
As you see above i want to use my count class in the TestCounter class but i cant compile it.It says i cant find the count class.How can i use count class in my TestCounter class.
I try to make a package.So i put the counter class to a new package and import it by this package name in the TestCounter but i says there is no class in import.How can i make a package that i can import in my other applications.

Sorry, I somehow got the impression that you could compile but not run...
You must be making a small, irritating, frustrating mistake somewhere since the settings you desrcribe are correct.
The code for the Count class is in c:\java\Count.java?
The code for the TestCount class is in c:\java\TestCount.java?
Can you compile Count with:
c:\java>javac Count.java
And after that TestCount with
c:\java>javac TestCount.java
If not, what is the exact error message (with line numbers and stuff) you get?What if you try compiling with
c:\java>javac *.java
Or "javac -classpath . *.java"?
You are using a 1.2+ jdk, right? Not those 1.1 ones? As the 1.1 jdks require some extra setting in the classpath - the compiler may not be finding the superclass of Count, java.lang.Object, and then saying it can't find Count... older jdks have a 'feature' like that.
Let's hope this will shed some light on the problem...
