Oracle's MouseEventDemo.java does not compile.
I get error message "Cannot find BlankArea class"
BlankArea class exists in same folder as MouseEventDemo.
I'm stumped.

Re: MouseEventDemo
Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for new members.
While not all Oracle tutorials have all of the parts in one place that are necessary to simply copy, paste into an editor, and compile successfully, most do or at least indicate where to get the required parts. I think the problem is probably at your end in the way the project is/isn't set up. Post the code exactly as you tried to run it and the entire error message, copied from exactly as it appears at your end.
Re: MouseEventDemo
How do you compile? From an IDE? Or manually with JDK tools from command prompt? If the latter, it may be a "classpath" problem. Do you know what is the classpath and how to set it? If not, see How Classes are FoundOriginally Posted by JohnRawson
(in any way, this is a thing to know, if you want to be a java programmer)

Re: MouseEventDemo
I compile from the command prompt using the JDK tools.
I have set the class path.
I think that I have copied the demo exactly.
BlankArea.java compiled as did MouseEventDemo.java.
I come to Java from Python where I would just import BlankArea.
The error message I get when I try to run it is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:MouseEventDemo(wron g name:events/MouseEventDemo)
Re: MouseEventDemo
That says there is a package: events. Put the class file in a folder named events, go to the folder containing the events folder and enter:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:MouseEventDemo(wron g name: events/MouseEventDemo)
java events.MouseEventDemo
Or remove the package statement and do it like you did before.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: MouseEventDemo
Thanks.
I have learned all about packages.
It now works fine
