Java Object Creation Error

Question

package Sartre.Connect4;

import javax.swing.*;


public class ChatGUI extends JDialog {

public ChatGUI(){

    setTitle("Chat");

}

}

when i do this in another class in the same package:

ChatGUI chatGUI = new ChatGUI();

i end up with a situation: Cannot Find Symbol

that is all theres to it. rest of of the main class is unrelated to ChatGUI. — iTEgg

"Cannot Find Symbol" means that the compiler cannot find a class, method or field that's being used in your code (it wil also tell you exactly which one). This means one of two things:

The class/method/field name is mistyped
The compiler cannot find it in its classpath

Are both files in the directory

<project root>/Sartre/Connect4 ?

It might mess things up if the structure is

<project root>/Sarte.Connect4
