Unable to run compile package created by myself

[anto2]

Hello I have the following directory structure

f:\javatimesheet\ie\core\timesheet\data and in my java source file I have
package ie.core.timesheet.data;
public class ...

if I am in the directory data and the source file is there i can compile but I cannot run the class.

I thought this would do it java -classpath .;f:\javatimesheet\ie HelloWorld

or to compile it i thought javac - classpath .;f:\javatimesheet\ie HelloWorld.java
which won't compile.

Your java classes will be in "ie/core/timesheet/data/" you try appending entire path.

I have sorted the problem to compile this works
javac -classpath .;f:\javatimesheet HelloWorld.java if I am in the data directory.

I have found out that the classpath must point to the directory containing the start path of the package.

Anthony.
