External packages

[I.L.B.]

Hi ,

I got several source code Java files to compile... They import both standard
java class libraries as "java.awt... etc" but also another private ones
(included as external class files). When I try to compile with javac, it
gives a lot of error because it cannot import the "special" class libraries.

I got those class libraries as class files in a folder, but I don't know how
to "install" them into my java in order that they're recognized when it
comes to compile java files into class files.

Thanks !!

Put them in the same folder as your source code.

Put the base directory of the classes on the classpath at compile-time using
the -classpath switch.

Also,

I just get rid of this by including all the classes by importing
"com.whatever.*" ...

But then I get a lot of errors because it does not recognize user defined
variables and functions that are supposed to be defined in that new imported
pagkages, giving me errors like :

" cannot resolve symbol: ... "

Any ideas?

Thanks

Given that Test16.java is in C:\java\source\, the package(s) needed are
in C:\java\source\foreignPackages\org.w3c.tidy.Tidy and the .class
files should go to C:\java\class\, then how does this source,
<http://thufir.lecktronix.net/java/Test16.java>, compile with javac
from C:\java?

Absolutely this is a RTFM question, I'm looking for the FM
Thanks,
