How to import file from same directory?

[Splat]

Hi,

I am wondering if I can have more than one java file per folder (or does this break the java package scheme?). I'll give example that I am struggling with.

In Test1.java

import test2;

public class Test1
{
}

In Test2.java

package test2;

public class Test2
{
}

When I try and compile the code Test2.java compiles but Test1.java does not.

C:\Projects\Java>javac Test2.java

C:\Projects\Java>javac Test1.java
Test1.java:1: '.' expected
import test2;
            ^
Test1.java:1: ';' expected
import test2;
             ^
2 errors
C:\Projects\Java>

How can I have a java file access another java file class in the same folder?

if it's part of the same package (same directory) then it doesn't need to be imported.

Edit:

example:
\myproject\Test1.java
\myproject\Test2.java

package myproject;
...

what if Test1 class accesses the class Test2?

say like

public class Test1
{
   Test2 x = new Test2();
}

[mrmatt1111]

if both test1 and test2 belong to the same package they have access to each other.

i would go through this tutorial: Packages

ok, this is what I mean.

Inside my Test2.java file there is:

package myproject;

public class Test2
{
}

and inside my Test1.java file there is

package myproject;

public class Test1
{
	Test2 x = new Test2();
}

When I try and compile I get:

C:\Projects\Java\Minimal>javac Test2.java

C:\Projects\Java\Minimal>javac Test1.java
Test1.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Test2
location: class myproject.Test1
        Test2 x = new Test2();
        ^
Test1.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Test2
location: class myproject.Test1
        Test2 x = new Test2();
                      ^
2 errors

These are the files that are in this directory

C:\Projects\Java\Minimal>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 8872-8339

I will try and work through the Packages tutorial as suggested (again) but I think I have been thru it before and I found it confusing. Anyway, maybe I missed something, so I will go thru it again.

I had to compile them both on the same command line for it to work. That is

javac myproject/Test1.java myproject/Test2.java

and then it would compile without errors. Then I had to be careful to run it from a directory level above like this:

java myproject/Test1

for it to work. Bit of a trap for players without an IDE. Anywayz thanks for your help.
