go to the directory where the testClass1 and 2 files are and type:

javac testClass1.java
javac testClass2.java

Theres no such thing as "compiling a package"

[Tolls]

javac p/testclass2.java

Did you compile testclass1 class? Seems you've compile a one class and run the other.

[Tolls]

As i pointed out, they're not using javac correctly.

"p.testclass2.java" is not the correct filename, which is why it's complaining.

It's a path, not a package...so "p\testclass2.java".

But, as you say, they don't appear to be runnin gthe same file that they're compiling.

[Eranga]

Simply he compiles a one and try to run another in a different folder path, in wrong way. Don't know that OP got it clearly and tried it out.

Hard to tell since they haven't come back...and it's just us two chattering away.

Yeah, that's true. Have to wait for our OP.
