How do you usually define constants with a package?
Interestingly, during a recent interview I was asked to discuss the disadvantages of using an interface to define constants. -
errors in the code
As a test, I copied and pasted your code in a CarTest4.java file, and it compiles and runs fine; no errors. Your last error (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError) is probably due to a bad classpath. Make sure your classpath includes the directory which contains CarTest4.class -
StreamTokenizer
Sorry, I didn't understand your question at first. Perhaps this will work: File curDir = new File( original ); String parentPath = curDir.getParent(); File parentDir = new File( parentPath ); String parentDirName = parentDir.getName(); Seems like more code than necessary, though. -

You could also do something like this: File curDir = new File( original ); String parentDir = curDir.getName(); The File.getName() method returns the last directory/file name in a path.
