compiling with a nested directory structure

[Arnold]

I'm getting "resolve symbol" errors when I try to compile source files which
are in the child directory whose dependent on files from it's parent
directory. Here's my current directory structure:

src
-->a
---->b
------>util

What I'm trying to do is compile files which are in the 'util' directory.
Some of these files use some of the classes in the 'b' directory. My
compile statement is the following:

java -d class -classpath src src\a\b\util\aFile.java

Files in the 'util' directory has a import a.b.* statement on top, but I
don't think that's the problem, let alone necessary.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

You can't specify a directory for the file you are trying to compile. You
have to enter

javac -d class -classpath (something) aFile.java

and rely on the classpath to direct the compiler to the file. But if you
have declared aFile to be in the a.b.util package, then you have to enter

javac -d class -classpath (something) a/b/util/aFile.java

I'm not going to explain how to set up your classpath when your classes are
in packages, or even when they aren't. It's a long story. You should be
able to find something that explains that.
