Message: [QUOTE="shaun, post: 616965"] Hi, I am reading Ivor Horton's Beginning Java 2. I have the following package setup: C:\Java\Packages\Geometry In this directory I have 2 classes: Line.java Point.java These classes have compiled correctly. I have created a directory in geometry called Shape2D and in this directory created a file called Rectangle.java, here are the contents: package Geometry.Shape2D; public class Rectangle { // Data members private Point topLeft; private Point bottomRight; // Create a rectangle from two points public Rectangle(final Point topLeft, final Point bottomRight) { this.topLeft = new Point(topLeft); this.bottomRight = new Point(bottomRight); } } When I try to compile this program i get the foillowing error: C:\Java\Packages\Geometry\Shape2D>javac -classpath ".;C:\Java\Packages\Geometry" Rectangle.java Rectangle.java:5: cannot find symbol symbol : class Point location: class Geometry.Shape2D.Rectangle private Point topLeft; ^ Rectangle.java:6: cannot find symbol symbol : class Point location: class Geometry.Shape2D.Rectangle private Point bottomRight; ^ Rectangle.java:9: cannot find symbol symbol : class Point location: class Geometry.Shape2D.Rectangle public Rectangle(final Point topLeft, final Point bottomRight) { ^ Rectangle.java:9: cannot find symbol symbol : class Point location: class Geometry.Shape2D.Rectangle public Rectangle(final Point topLeft, final Point bottomRight) { ^ Rectangle.java:10: cannot find symbol symbol : class Point location: class Geometry.Shape2D.Rectangle this.topLeft = new Point(topLeft); ^ Rectangle.java:11: cannot find symbol symbol : class Point location: class Geometry.Shape2D.Rectangle this.bottomRight = new Point(bottomRight); ^ 6 errors As you can probably tell I am a beginner so any tips here would be greatly appreciated.
