package error!

[ak1502]

Hi all:

I have a source code for java applet which I want to modify. The code was written by someone else and now they have left. But before I modify anything I thought I should just try to just recompile the *.java files and see what happens. The applet contains 5 packages and each package contains 3-4 classes. The class from one package can use class from other package. I can see from the code that there is import statement. When I tried to compile one of the *.java file in a package. I got the following error message:

“C:\pharsimu\gui\ModelPanel.java:3: package pharsimu.generic does not exist
import pharsimu.generic.DoubleLabelSlider; “

Is this error due to CLASSPATH or something else. I haven’t set my CLASSPATH because I don’t know how to do that. I am using text pad to recompile and am new to java.

Can anyone help me???


Thanks

Akash

I suggest you use an IDE. Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 is the best. It will help you with those errors and class paths...
