I am going through a java for dummies book and have an issue compiling
a class.  If I use "import com.mysite.util.Console" it compiles fine,
however if I use import com.mysite.util.* it fails.  I assume this has
something to do with my CLASSPATH so I will include that as well...
Any insite would be appreciated. Thanks.

C:\javaclasses;.

Compiled Console.class file is in C:\javaclasses\com\mysite\util\

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class PackageTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
while (Console.askYorN("Keep going?"))
{
System.out.println("D'oh!");
}
}
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

package com.mysite.util;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Console
{

static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

   public static boolean askYorN(String prompt)
   {
       while (true)
       {
           String answer;
           System.out.print("\n" + prompt + " (Y or N) ");
           answer = sc.next();
           if (answer.equalsIgnoreCase("Y"))
               return true;
           else if (answer.equalsIgnoreCase("N"))
               return false;
       }
   }

}
