Hello. First, you have to keep somthing in mind : when working in your IDE, and declare classes and packages, they are stored in your workspace (the folder in which you choose as your "root" folder to store projects : I'll call it your_workspace).
Then, when you declare a new package, it creates a new "namespace" for relatives files, and will store them in the folder your_workspace/ your_package_name/ (assuming that you're working in linux. if not, replace / by \ in the folder's path). Thus, if you create a new class as Food.class or FoodMain.class (by creating and compiling Food.java and FoodMain.java) in your package (by declaring the "package" statement in their declaration), you have to look them in the folder your_workspace/your_package_name. Now, looking for your problem, it seems that you haven't declared any "package" statement in the FoodMain.java. But when compiling in command line, you used the command "c:\foodpackage\fruitpackage>javac Food.java FoodMain.java" which indicates that you are in the folder relative to "fruitpackage" package : FoodMain.java is not here, you have to look it in the folder c:\foodpackage, or in the folder your_workspace. For compiling, try this command : c:\foodpackage>FoodMain.java from within "c:\foodpackage" folder, or "c:\foodpackage\fruitpackage>javac Food.java ..\FoodMain.java" from within "c:\foodpackage\fruitpackage" folder. @+ On 28 fév, 11:10, Rafał Laczek <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Friends, > > I have a problem to create file FoodMain.class > I used all suitable proposed in lesson commands.
