package src.Verbs clashes with class of same name

[Addez]

Woot woot?
I dont get it!
I got alot of packages inside the folder Verbs.
And when I make em packages i say:
package src.Verbs;
Now I got no script names verbs or anything in the folder named src with the name Verbs.
Still I get this error! Why?

Heres my script, they all look kinda like this:

package src.Verbs;

import src.Operations;

public class SimplePresent {

    public static Boolean Test(String string) {
    	String[] verbs = string.split(" ");
    	for ( int x = 0;x<verbs.length;x++){
    		String word = verbs[x];
    		if (word.substring(word.length()-3,word.length()).equals("ies")){
    			word = word.substring(1,word.length()-3);
    			if (Operations.Find("Verbs.txt",word) != false){
    				return true;
    			}
    		} else {
    			if (word.substring(word.length()-2,word.length()).equals("es")){
    				word = word.substring(1,word.length()-2);
    				if (Operations.Find("Verbs.txt",word) != false){
    				return true;
    				}
    			} else {
    				if (word.substring(word.length()-2,word.length()).equals("es")){
    					word = word.substring(1,word.length()-2);
    					if (Operations.Find("Verbs.txt",word) != false){
    						return true;
    					}
    				}
    			}
    		}
    	}
    	return false;
    }
    
    
}

Each package has to be in it's own folder, i believe. Is that the issue?

/src/Verbs/SimplePresent.java

Is that the issue?

Quite hard to tell as the original poster has kept a lot of the details to himself.

So you have a class called src.Verbs and a package called src.Verbs as well?
The compiler will give you a warning for that.
If that is not the case then post the exact error message you are getting.

I tought when wrighting a package i should wright;
package pathFromClassPathToScript;

so the script is inside the Verbs forder.
the Verbs fordel inside the src folder, and the src folder inside the classpath folder.

So shouldnt it be src.Verbs; for all packages inside the verb folder?

"for all packages inside the verb folder"

This statement doesn't make sense.

A package is a collection of classes (NOT SCRIPTS! :P) contained in a folder.

A class belongs to a package but is not a package.

To say:

package pathFromClassPathToScript;

is to say that this class belongs to this package which happens to also give it's location in the folder structure.

Example:

%ClassPath%/project
package project;

%ClassPath%/project/verbs
package project.verbs;

Also:

import project.verbs.*; //to access the classes in this package from outside the package

Ok so how do I make it a package?
package src.Verbs SimplePresentForFutureEvents;
Will only cause the error "; expected"

and
package src.Verbs.SimplePresentForFutureEvents;

doesnt help..
NOTHING works!
What am I suppose to do!

What am I suppose to do!

Read the tutorials. Don't bother trying to write a single line of code before reading the relevant tutorial.

Start here.

[mrmatt1111]

package src.Verbs;

public class SimplePresentForFutureEvents
{
   ...
}

it assumes this path:

%ClassPath%/src/Verbs/SimplePresentForFutureEvents.java

[Addez]

Yes, that is what I already have, still I get the error...

[Addez]

nvm, it was jcreator that had not erased the class file when i deleted the java file..
So it got meesed up, but now its working!
