Here is my folder structure:
- myGame/
- bin/
- src/
- common/
- logic/
- main/
- messageprotocol/
- test/
- util/
- Test.java
- Rectangle.java
- Geometry.java
I would like to compile Test.java which is in util package. However, I get symbol not found errors, I guess javac command is wrong. Also, you should know that Test.java has references to other classes within the same project (myGame).
Here is what I do:
cd myGame/
javac -d bin -classpath bin src/util/Test.java
Once I'm done with above, I'd do this and it would work (I hope):
cd myGame/bin
java Test
I have read a lot of resources and tried to apply but it didn't work for my folder structure. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Errors I receive are:
myGame/src/util/Test.java:16: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Rectangle
location: class util.Test
private static final Rectangle[] rectangles = new Rectangle[someNumber];
^
myGame/src/util/Test.java:16: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Rectangle
location: class util.Test
private static final Rectangle[] rectangles = new Rectangle[someNumber];
^
myGame/src/util/Test.java:20: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable Geometry
location: class util.Test
System.out.println("Printing " + Geometry.NUMBER);
^
myGame/src/util/Test.java:24: cannot find symbol

location: class util.Test
serverSocket = new Circle(Geometry.NUMBER);
^
myGame/src/util/Test.java:36: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Rectangle
location: class util.Test
rectangles[i] = new Rectangle(number, rectangles);
^
5 errors
Package structure for your Test.java
is util.Test
so you should do:
cd myGame/src
javac -d ../bin -classpath ../bin util/Test.java
and then try running it. hope this helps.
