Importing a .java

[Kaito]

I'm using Eclipse, I'm new to Java, and Google/Bing/My book didn't help at all.

I have two .java files:
BattleField.java and Infantry.java

Now, I want to have soldier (part of infantry.java) be used in BattleField. So, i tried infantry.Soldier() SoldierA = new infantry.Soldier(), and many combination's of that. It didn't work.

My file structure is of this (Since I cant post links or pics since i dont have 20 posts >_>): BattleField>src>(default package)>BattleField.java, infantry.java

Now my question is: How do I use things from infantry.java in BattleField.java?
NOTE: As it says in the comment block at the top of BattleField.java, this program is to help me learn java. My teacher isn't doing that good of a job, so I figured this would be a good way for me to learn: put everything I know into this program)

Since you have the source code, you do not import anything. Simply make a new instance of the class you want to use and then call its methods. Posting your code might help too :D

What do you mean didn't work? If you got a compilation message then read it and try to understand what it means. If you can't understand it then post the message here.

haha...forgot about the code tags...

//BattleField
//By: Jake Peshman
//Purpose: Create a simulated modern day war, and to Learn Java
//Date Created: 9/21/09
//Last Modified: 9/22/09
import java.util.Scanner;
public class BattleField
{
	public void main (String[] args)
	{
		//Declaring all the Variables to make them all in one spot
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
		final String side1, side2;
		int casRoundEnd, round;
		int unitsSide1, unitsSide2, money;
		//Asks for the side names
		System.out.println("Enter the name for the first team");
		side1 = scan.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Enter the name for the second team");
		side2 = scan.nextLine();
		round = 0;
		
		System.out.println("Enter the amount of Money Each side will get: ");
		money = scan.nextInt();
		System.out.println("Enter the number of TOTAL cassualties before the round ends: ");
		casRoundEnd = scan.nextInt();
		if (casRoundEnd == 0)
		{
			System.out.println("Enter a number above Zero");
			System.out.println("Enter the number of TOTAL cassualties before the round ends: ");
			casRoundEnd = scan.nextInt();
		}
		System.out.println("SUMMARY: Side Names: " + side1 + ", " + side2 + 
				". Money available: " + money + ". Cassualties before round ends: " 
				+ casRoundEnd + ".");
		System.out.println("Side 1 Name: " + side1 + ". Side 2 Name: " + 
				side2 + ".");
		if (side1.equals(("Allies")))
		{
			System.out.println("You get uber bonuses");
		}
		System.out.println("Round Begin");
		round++;
		System.out.println("Round End");
		System.out.println("Round number: " + round);
		
	}				
}

That's BattleField.java.

//Infantry Class
//Includes Soldier, AntiTank, Sniper, CovertOps, Machine Gunner, and Elite

public class infantry
{
	//declare basic attributes
	double hp, armor, effectiveHP, attack, bonus, penalty, speed, range;
	//declares accuracy for infantry, to keep thing short
	double accuracyInfantry, accuracySniper, accuracyCovertOps, accuracyArtillery, accuracyAircraft, accuracyHelicopters, accuracyStealth;
	public void Soldier()
	{
		hp = 3;
		armor = 10;
		effectiveHP = 13;
		attack = 5;
		penalty = //groups of 10
		speed = 2;
		range = 8;
	
		accuracyInfantry = .99;
		accuracySniper = .01;
		accuracyCovertOps = .1;
		accuracyArtillery = .9;
		accuracyAircraft = .1;
		accuracyHelicopters = .1;
		accuracyStealth = 0.0;
	
	}
	public void Sniper()
	{
		hp = 3;
		armor = 1;
		effectiveHP = 4;
		attack = 5;
		penalty = //groups of 10
		speed = 2;
		range = 8;
	
		accuracyInfantry = .99;
		accuracySniper = .01;
		accuracyCovertOps = .1;
		accuracyArtillery = .9;
		accuracyAircraft = .1;
		accuracyHelicopters = .1;
		accuracyStealth = 0.0;
	}
}

That's infantry.java

I want to create an instance of "soldier()" in BattleField.java

By "It didn't work", Eclipse is telling me that it cant find soldier()

Is there a soilder class somewhere then?
Are the classes in the same package?
Also remember that Java is case sensitive. Soilder != soilder.

hahaha........
I was trying to use Soldier, not infantry....
*facedesk*
Sorry for my moron-ness, I'm still new to Java
I'll see you guys soon with another question!
