Weird Can not access class from outside package problem

Question

Hi, I have this problem and it seems the error message is very clear what the problem is but I did make the GeneralTestResult class PUBLIC already. What could be wrong? I did search for it but this is too general and didn't find any solution. Anyone can point out the problem? TIA.
public abstract class GeneralTestResult
  public static int FAILING_THRESHOLE = 25;
  public abstract String getTestName();
  public abstract boolean isPassed();
  public abstract int getLeftEyeResult();
  public abstract int getRightEyeResult();
  public abstract Calendar getTestDate();
// in a different file
package VisionSaver.Tests.TestResults;
import java.util.*;
public class AcuityORContrastTestResult extends GeneralTestResult
  private String m_testName;
  private int m_leftEyeVision, m_rightEyeVision;
  private Calendar m_testDate;
// in a different file
package VisionSaver.Tests;
import VisionSaver.Tests.TestResults.*;
public class Acuity extends VirtualKeyboard implements ActionListener, Runnable, WindowListener
AcuityORContrastTestResult r = new AcuityORContrastTestResult(...);
}The compiling error is:
"Acuity.java": GeneralTestResult() in VisionSaver.Tests.TestResults.GeneralTestResult is not defined in a public class or interface; cannot be accessed from outside package at line 529, column 40

Answer 1

The GeneralTestResult class is a packaged class. Sorry, when I cut and paste, I didn't copy everything. So here is the complete GeneralTestResult file:
package VisionSaver.Tests.TestResults;
import java.util.*;
public abstract class GeneralTestResult
  public static int FAILING_THRESHOLE = 25;
  public abstract String getTestName();
  public abstract boolean isPassed();
  public abstract int getLeftEyeResult();
  public abstract int getRightEyeResult();
  public abstract Calendar getTestDate();
}From the compiler's message, it seems like the import is OK. It just won't allow me to access non-public class but my classes here are declared public. Any other ideas? TIA
