I am assuming that your Java compiler and interpreter is working. Lets make sure of the structure:
This is your Letscheck class with the main() method. Currently it is part of the default package:

Code:

import person.*;
public class Letscheck {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		name n = new name();
		System.out.println(n.get_name());
	}
}

This file, called Letscheck.java, is stored as:

Code:

c:\java\Letscheck.java

Next, you have your name class that is part of your person package:

Code:

package person;
public class name{
	private String name_person= "pablo";
	public String get_name(){
		return name_person;
	}
	// Added a constructor for you
	public name(){}
}

this file, called, name.java, is saved as:

Code:

C:\java\person\name.java

Now open command prompt and type

Code:

cd c:\java\person\

To use javac we do not need a CLASSPATH. Type the following:

Code:

javac *.java

This will compile all your java source code in the "c:\java\person\" directory. Now, we do the same for "c:\java\" to compile the file with your main() method:

Code:

cd c:\java\
javac *.java

Now you should have the files:

Code:

c:\java\person\name.class
c:\java\Letscheck.cass

To run a Java program with the Java interpreter, it needs a CLASSPATH. To set this, use the command prompt before you use the "java" program. Type this into the command prompt:

Code:

SET CLASSPATH=c:\java\

Note that all my directories ends with a back slash. Now, to run your program type:

Code:

java Letscheck

Note that I did not add the ".class" extension. The program should output:

Code:

pablo

That's all that there is to it. You can do all this quickly by writing a batch file. (.bat)

I really hope this helped you.

Finally !!! I've got it. I've printed it for future reference, and of course, study it. Many many thanks.
