Using package getting compiler error

Question

I have a project at c:\myproject
I have a file name as b.java in c:\myproject
I have a sub-directory named as com\sski\ in c:\myproject
In that subdirectory there is a file a.java (package of a.java is com.sski) which is using class b.
I have compiled b.java successfully, But I am unable to compile a.java
I am getting compiler error cannot resolve symbol
Sourece of a.java is as follow package com.sski;
//import b;
public class  a
     public static void main(String[] args)
          b obj = new b();
          System.out.println("Inside a.java: " +obj);
}i have even tried using import b;
then i get error as '.' expected
how do i successfully compile a.java, where do i place b.java.
i dont want to put b.java inside any package.

Answer 1

b.class is not being found in your classpath. If you are compiling in C:\myproject, b.class should end up in C:\myproject, since you are not putting it in a package (which, IMO, is a bad idea). This assumes that you are not using the -d <destination> command line option in the javac command line.
To compile a.java, you need to use the -classpath command line option, as follows:
javac -classpath C:\myproject a.java
or
javac -classpath . a.java (note the dot).
