javac : Compiling a .java file which uses other classes in it

Question

HI i have 3 java files

a.java  
b.java  
c.java  

I managed to generate .class files for both a and b using

javac example/a         


        

Answer 1

Presumably you're not in the example/ directory when you run javac. Try

javac -cp example c.java

Or just cd into that directory. The classpath is not automatically resolved for the classes c.java depends on.
