I'm a relative Java newbie so apologies if the question appears somewhat basic. I've googled high and low for an answer here and I'm not finding anything that's helping.
Problem:
Whilst I'm able to integrate external packages into my Java programs from an IDE environment, I am trying to do run a very basic program from the command line that calls on a separate, basic package file that I have written - and am simply doing all this as I want to have a bottom-up understanding of how package files are related to a main program by Java.
I have a program that sits on my desktop named MyProgram.java:
import org.somepackage;
public class MyProgram {
public static void main(String arguments[]) {
System.out.println("Programme up and running...");
Human myHuman = new Human();
myHuman.scream();
}
Still on the Desktop, I then have another folder which I've named src , inside of which I have created the necessary subfolders corresponding to the package name, ie ./src/org/somepackage - and in this location, I have the Human.java file which defines the Human class with the following contents:
package org.somepackage;
public class Human {
public void scream() {
System.out.println("I exist!!");
}
}
I then created a classes folder, again on the Desktop, and ran the following compile command on the command line:
javac -d ./classes/ ./src/org/packagename/Human.java
This ran fine and created - as expected - the Human.class file within the ./classes/org/packagename/ location.
However, where I fall down is when I then try to compile MyProgram.java on the command line, ie
javac -cp ".:./classes/" MyProgram.java
As you'll see, my class path contains a reference to the current location ( "." ) for the MyProgram.java file, and it contains a reference to the classes folder ( "./classes/" ) which is the base location for the org.somepackage package inside whose subfolders ( ./classes/org/somepackage/ ) on can find the Human.class file.
At this stage, I was simply expecting the java engine to compile MyProgram.java into the program MyProgram.class - but, instead, I get an error:
MyProgram.java:1: error: package org does not exist
I've been following the instructions listed here:
https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/java/J9c_PackageClasspath.html
and I don't appear to be deviating from the instructions - yet I'm unable to locate an explanation on Stackoverflow or anywhere else as to a possible reason for this compile failure. If anyone has an idea, your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Your mistake is here
import org.somepackage; <--
public class MyProgram {
public static void main(String arguments[]) {
System.out.println("Programme up and running...");
Human myHuman = new Human();
myHuman.scream();
}
you forgot to import class actually, you need to write this name import org.somepackage.Human;
import all package content import org.somepackage.*;
or write full qualified name of class in your code
org.somepackage.Human myHuman = new org.somepackage.Human();
myHuman.scream();
correct mistake:
import org.somepackage.Human;
public class MyProgram {
public static void main(String arguments[]) {
System.out.println("Programme up and running...");
Human myHuman = new Human();
myHuman.scream();
}
after that compile your Human.java by this command:
javac -d classes Human.java
and MyProgram.java
javac -d classes -cp "classes" MyProgram.java
and run MyProgram by
java -cp "classes" MyProgram
