找不到java.net的符号

Question

I am using NetBeans for Windows 7 with JDK 7. I want to use the Socket class but when I try the import

import java.net.*;

or

import java.net;

I get the error : "cannot find symbol symbol: class net location: package java"

I looked in C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6/lib/classlist and "java/net/Socket" is in there. I'm not sure if this indicates anything important.

Also possibly worth noting: in C:/Program Files (x86)/Java, both /jre6 and /jre7 exist.

Answer 1

import java.net.*; is correct.

More specifically import java.net.Socket;

Make sure that your imports appear after you package declaration, but before your class definition.
