In short, I'm trying to instantiate within the main method in order to handle computations. I wrote the main class in Eclipse and was able to compile and run everything smoothly.
Main Method:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
...
OutsideClass class = new OutsideClass();
...
}
I ran it in eclipse, which worked smoothly until I got an error due to to insufficient privileges, which led me to switch over to using cmd.exe as an administrator.
I navigated to the eclipse folder where I had all the classes saved to and ran javac x.java
for each file in the folder, one by one. I was able to do javac OutsideClass.java
without any errors, though when it came to javac Main.java
, I received the following error:
Main.java:36: error: cannot find symbol
OutsideClass outside = new OutsideClass();
^
symbol: class OutsideClass
location: class Main
Main.java:36: error: cannot find symbol
OutsideClass outside = new OutsideClass();
^
symbol: class OutsideClass
location: class Main
2 errors
The OutsideClass
doesn't have a defined constructor, though I don't know if that really matters or not.
The Java compiler needs the source ( .java
) or bytecode ( .class
) of OutsideClass
when compiling Main.java
.
Try javac *.Java
, or javac -cp OutsideClass.class Main.java
to provide OutsideClass
's definition to the compiler when compiling Main
.
It is more customary for Java developers to compile all Java sources of a single project via one javac
invitation, either directly, or via a tool such as Maven .
