import statement problem Java

[willisoften]

I'm having a problem with both netbeans, jedit and using javac through the command line. Importing classes isn't working. It is working under windows with both Kawa and the SDK.

 

uuInOut is a single class file not a package. The program below illustrates problem. Perhaps I'm doing something stupid and its just driving me nuts!

 

import uuInOut;



class Test{

public static void main(String [] args){

int x;

x= uuInOut.ReadInt();



System.out.println("Number entered was: "+x);

}

}

 

Test.java:2: '.' expected

import uuInOut;

^

Test.java:9: cannot resolve symbol

symbol : variable uuInOut

location: class Test

x= uuInOut.ReadInt();

^

2 errors

Process javac exited with code 1[/code]

I don't understand this stuff, but I did a Google search and you might find this useful:

The replier mentioned that you have to have a fully qualified class path.

[ramfree17]

you can only use that kind of importing if the class being imported and the source file being compiled belongs to the same package (either defined or unnamed). otherwise you have to use the fully qualified packagename for importing.

 

ciao!

thanks ramfree17,

 

I think the problem arose because my lectures and practical classes

(and windows compiler) use the jdk 1.3. Using 1.3 importing a class file is ok.

 

Under 1.4 it is no longer permissible to import a class unless the class is in a named package.

A nuisance if you ask me!
