Question using inheritance with packages

[Gil]

Hi,

I have 2 classes in a package. One class inherits from the other. I
had no problems compiling the classes when the classes weren't in a
package, but as soon as I put the classes in a package and appropriate
directories, I get the error :

cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Base

My code, each class is in a different file in the same directory :

in directory first\second :

Base.java :

package first.second;

public class Base {
};

A.java :

package first.second;

public class A extends Base {

};

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Gil

Check your classpath to make sure that the package directory is in the
path in the right place i.e. if you have a package foo with a class
bar in your directory structure c:\java\foo then c:\java has to be in
your classpath. Java will take care of the rest.
