2 files in the same folder .. could compile only 1 of them ..

[sophie24]

i have some code in the main class A and some in another class B. i compile class B with no problems, but if i try to compile the main class A, which has objects and methods referenced to the class B, i get allways an error. i think that i have set the path and classpath correctly and both files are in the same folder, why cannot find my main class A the objects created by class B which are also in the same folder? Also i have tried to put those files in a package, the problem occours again. Many thanks for every help and usefull tip


regards

------------------------------------------------------------
public class classA {
public static void main(String[] args) {
classB dosomething = new classB();
dosomething.setX(77);
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------public class classB {
private int xtest;
public void setX(int ab) {
xtest = ab;
}
public int getX() {
return xtest;
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------

i am not quite sure but isnt it so that java first searches the referenced class files in the same folder and if it doesnt exists it goes to the classpath ?

and is there a solution for the slash/backslash problem with windows ? i have tried to compile a package but the jvm reads 'folder1\folder2\file.class' as 'folder1/folder2/file.class' so the same package runs perfectly in linux.

You probably definitely has to do with the CLASSPATH. Make sure you have . on your CLASSPATH. This will make the compiler look in the current directory for the necessary class files as well.
