Java Package Compiling Issue

Question

OK, like many of the package compiling issues out there I have not found one like this out of the 12 hours I've spent searching..

Basically I have the normal setup :

My Directories are as follows: JavaCSVReader/FRC_API

My Source files are setup as this:

JavaCSVReader/CSVFile.java
JavaCSVReader/FRC_API/RobotConfig.java

(that is CSVFile.java is located in JavaCSVReader and same for RobotConfig.java)

CSVFile.java contains the lines:

    package JavaCSVReader;
    import JavaCSVReader.FRC_API.*;
       ...

RobotConfig.java contains the lines:

    package JavaCSVReader.FRC_API;
    import JavaCSVReader.CSVFile;
        ...

Both files compile fine without the lines above.

The error is thus: I receive

"cannot find symbol... class: CSVFile location: JavaCSVReader"

when I try to compile the RobotConfig.java.

I also receive the

"package does not exist: JavaCSVReader.FRC_API" error when compiling CSVSFile.java

my

CLASSPATH=/home/src/JavaCSVReader/:.:..

(I am using linux)

Your classpath setting is wrong. You should set it to

/home/src/

The compiler will take classpath as the "base" directory in order to find packages defined in the source.

it's a classpath issue. How do you configure java environment variables? You'd better check on it.

THe package is JavaCSVReader.FRC_API. The issue was the classpath. I was not sure on the meaning of the term base class.
