How to create package class

[leslie samuel]

Dear firend,

I have created the packge file under /home/in/package/Time1.java

Time1.java:
--------------

package in.package;

public class Time1 {

public static String name="Package Testing";

public void assign_name(String val) {

name=val;
}

public String get_name() {
return name;
}

public static void main(String args[]) {

Time1 obj=new Time1();
obj.assign_name("Testing");
System.out.println(obj.get_name());
}

}

Then I have tried to access this package file from home directory.

package_test.java
---------------------

import co.in.bksys.packaging.Time1;

public class package_test {

public static void main(String args[]) {

//in.package.Time1 time_test=new in.package.Time1();
Time1 time_test=new Time1();
time_test.assign_name("Leslie Samuel");
String my_name=time_test.get_name();
System.out.println(my_name);

}
}

I have compiled this file from the home direcory.

$ javac -classpath in/package/ package_test.java

It was displayed this below error:
=========================

package_test.java:1: package in.package does not exist
import in.package.Time1;
^
package_test.java:8: cannot access Time1
bad class file: in/package/Time1.java
file does not contain class Time1
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
Time1 time_test=new Time1();
^
2 errors

but if i used this below line in the package_test.java file insted of using this Time1 time_test=new Time1(); .
It will work perfectly.

in.package.Time1 time_test=new in.package.Time1();

I know that its expecting some format of class file like , in.package.Time1.class inside the in/package/ directory.
It wasn't there so displayed this error.

How to create this knid of class file to appropriate directory ?
How to make my program execute without giving full package name like , in.package.Time1 time_test=new in.package.Time1(); ?

Thank you.

In package_test.java you need an import in.package.Timer;
You don't show it and then you do show it?

When compiling package_test, the class path should point to the folder where the in folder is. IE at the start of the package path.

Does this help at all?
