Hi all,

I'm trying to understand the concept of packaging which seems relatively
simple and clean, following the directory concept. To test this I've written
two files: 1 which defines a class and puts it inside a package and 1 which
tries to import the class defined in the package.

This is the code for MyClass.java:

package mypackage;

public class MyClass {
public void greeting(){
 System.out.println("Hello!");
}
}

I have saved this file to c:\java\mylib\mypackage. The CLASSPATH variable is
set as follows : CLASSPATH = .;c:\java\mylib

And the code for Exercise2.java (which tries to import the MyClass file):

import mypackage.*;

public class Exercise2 {
public static void main(String[] args){
 MyClass m = new MyClass();
 m.showMe();
}
}

The MyClass class seems to get imported, however I get an error message when
trying to call the showMe() method.

C:\java\test\Exercise2.java:6: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method greeting()
location: class mypackage.MyClass
 m.greeting();
                ^
1 error

Anyone have any idea why this is? The greeting() method is declared as
public inside MyClass so I should have access to it... I also tried defining
a no-arg constructor for MyClass which produces a text message but the text
message was never printed as well (even though the object seems to be
created without errors?!)

Thanks for any input.
