Package access for class

[jomypgeorge]

Hi all

i have a doubt regarding class access modifier.
i have read that class have default package access, and classes are visible in other classes in same package.

i did code in two files but package same.
but second file (which access class in first file) not get compiled....

what was the reason?

file1
------
package Pack1;

public class Test1
{
int x = 1;
}


File 2
-------
package Pack1;

public class Test2
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Test1 objTest1 = new Test1();
System.out.println(objTest1.x);
}
}

Compile both your .java files at once (pass them both to javac on the command line). Javac doesn't know where your files are stored and it assumes nothing so it can't find your other .java file when it compiles one of them.

thanks jos, but how i compile both files together in command prompt?

one more thing...
when i removed package statement from both files, it works fine

[Tolls]

How are you compiling them?
What's the exact command?
What directory are you in when you compile them?

[jomypgeorge]

i placed both files in a directory named Pack1
then i use command prompt and went to Pack1

then javac Test1.java it ok
then javac Test2.java it gets error

but javac *.java works fine

[jomypgeorge]

thanks jos

[jomypgeorge]

when i compiled both using javac *.java it worked
but on running Test2 i get error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test2

javac Test1.java Test2.java
or:
javac *.java

Set the classpath on the command line of the java.exe command. Type "java -help" for the details.

Yep.
Thought so.
As Jos says, classpath.

ETA: When running you should be running from the root directory. That is the directory off which your packages(s) sit, so one up from the Pack1 directory. Then you would run the code as "java Pack1/Test2".

Completely off topic so shoot me, but what is 'ETA'?

Ah, ok, thanks; I knew that last meaning but that didn't make any sense (as most things don't in my life ;-)

I used to be confused by it as well, until someone explained it to me.

So now I use it to confuse others...I like to share.

[jomypgeorge]

thanks jos and tool

[Tolls]

"tool"?

Should I be offended...?
;)

It's just another acronym, you just don't know the meaning of it; no need to worry or to feel offended.

kindest regards,

Jos ;-)

[jomypgeorge]

sorry Tools, i typed it in a hurry....

[Tolls]

It's two "l"s not two "o"s...:)
