classpath problem

Posted by rajesh on January 31, 2002 at 7:19 AM

Hi
use this
Keep your mobile in c:\ never touch bin directory
set path=%path%;c:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin;
set classpath=%classpath%;c:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib;c:\mobile;c:\mobile\vehicle;.;

> This should be a easy one, but I'm kind of desperate by now.. gnagahh ! I'm working with jdk1.3.1_01 (this is the reference system at our college). Currently I'm working on a project which simulates a autorental. I have a abstract class "mobile" and several other inherited classes "train" abstract class "vehicle", and - inherited from "vehicle" classes "car" and "truck". My problem is that I can't compile the classes.

I must have missed these lectures.. ;-) I've tried javac -classpath c:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin\mobile\vehicle\car\car.java but surprisingly nothing happens (as if everything was right). But if you type a nonsense name instead of the real existing file car.java, e.g. dkjah.java the same happens.
