Getting “cannot find Symbol” in Java project in Intellij

Question

I make this call to a static singleton instance from the class GameManager.java.

HUD.getInstance().update(timeDelta);

HU

Answer 1

Thanks for the help so far, turns out the fix was to compile HUD.java first (right click on the file-> Compile HUD.java). After compiling the java file the rest of the project could be compiled without any problems.

I don't really know why this fixed it, or why IntelliJ wouldn't do this automatically, but root error seems it has to do with IntelliJ not correctly handling having multiple classes in a single .java file.
