Problem with Packages
Hey guys.
I'm having a weird problem with packages. I know the package exists however Java is giving me the "package does not exist" error.
I used the exact same main in another .java outside the package "grt" (in which Grt.java is on) and it worked, so I don't understand what's wrong.
The files are:
MenuBuillder.java - package grt.textui.main
Grt.java - package grt
The proof that the package exists in /usr/share/java:
Thanks a lot.

Re: Problem with Packages
I think you have to go in and import it, not with an import statement, or something.
Perhaps download it and put it in the same directory as your program(s).
P.S., how do you save and load something? I've never gotten it to work right.
I'm dying to know.
Re: Problem with Packages
The package doesn't exist as the compiler sees it. Is the java file in a package like directory structure? I'd recommend using an IDE to make things such as this MUCH easier

Re: Problem with Packages
I've through through "import grt.textui.main.Message" but it still doesn't work, the same error.
Yes the java file is in a directory structure, grt/textui/main/Message.java and inside Message.java it's "package grt.textui.main".
I don't believe the error is in that because I've tried the exact same code inside other class in the package grt.textui and it worked...
