Some trouble with packages

[Lucas McCarthy]

I've started studying java using the tutorial on Oracle. I've been making a program as I've gone along in the tutorial, adding what I learn to the program. When I reached the packages section, I tried packaging my program. However, after I set up the package, my files couldn't find each other. After a couple frustrating hours of trying to fix it, I made a simple package with the following files:

C:\Users\Kenny\Desktop\testpackage\TestSuperClass. java:

package testpackage;
public class TestSuperClass {
 
}

C:\Users\Kenny\Desktop\testpackage\TestSubClass.ja va (ignore the space)

package testpackage;
public class TestSubClass extends TestSuperClass {
 
}

I can compile TestSuperClass.java, but when I compile TestSubClass.java, I get the following error:

TestSubClass.java:2: cannot find symbol
symbol: class TestSuperClass
public class TestSubClass extends TestSuperClass {
                                  ^

I've set up the appropriate folders for the package and set the directory to my classpath. I've been trying to figure this out all day. Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

My test program compiles properly. Are you sure all the class paths are correct?

I should think so. I unset the classpath then set it to the folder.

set CLASSPATH=
set CLASSPATH=C:\Users\Kenny\Desktop\testpackage

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Try compiling your main method with -cp option from command line and check.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Sorry, Java is a bit difficult for me to understand.

I entered the following line:

C:\Java\jdk\bin\javac -classpath C:\Users\Kenny\Desktop\testpackage TestSubClass.java

and got the same error. Do you think it might be to do with my Java installation?
