Hi,

1. I have 3 files:

c:\folder1\folderA\file1.java // no package statement inside
c:\folder1\folderA\file2.java // no package statement inside
c:\folder1\folderB\file3.java // package folderB;

2. I've compiled file1 & file 2:
c:\folder1\folderA> javac *.java
So, c:\folder1\folderA contains file1.class & file2.class

3. Now, I want to import file1.class & file2.class from c:\folder1\folder11.

Question:
a. What should the import statement be in file3.java?
b. In C:\folder1\folderB, what should the javac statement be for file3.java?

Thanks much,
Rach

import file1;
import file2;

javac -classpath
c:\folder1\folderA\file1.class;c:\folder1\folderA\ file2.class

That's your first mistake then. Always use packages, and always have
your source layout matching the package layout.

This is incorrect and is now officially wrong. You cannot import from the
unnamed package.
Place all classes in a package from now on. Only use unnamed code for quick
tests and minimal demos.
