Name: rmT116609 Date: 03/11/2002 FULL PRODUCT VERSION : java version "1.4.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode) FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : Red Hat Linux 7.1 (kernel 2.4.3-12) (glibc - glibc-2.2.2-10) A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : I've two classes. One class is without package structure and other one is with package structure. Now if I try to compile the class with package structure and this class has a reference to class without package structure, I'm not able to compile the class with package structure. I am NOT able to use "import <classname>" as I was able to do with previous version. And the class without package structure is in differenct directory and I cannot use the above import statement I'm getting compile time error saying that "cannot resolve symbol" (I've correct CLASSPATH settings and java/class files are in appropriate dir). STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM : 1.copy the B.java file(without package) to a /tmp directory 2. javac B.java 3.copy the Test.java file(with package) to /tmp directory 4. javac -d . Test.java EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : compiled Test.class file in /tmp/com/hamilsci/Test.class ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR : Test.java:7: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class B location: class com.hamilsci.Test B lb = new B(); ^ Test.java:7: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class B location: class com.hamilsci.Test B lb = new B(); This bug can be reproduced always. The problem is reproducible on Windows 2000, Solaris 2.8, Linux Redhat 7.1(Seawolf) using JDK1.4.0. ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ---------- //The directory structure is /tmp/com/hamilsci. Also CLASSPATH setting is //correct. //Class B is in /tmp directory and without package structure public class B { public B() { } } //Class Test uses B and the java file is in /tmp directory package com.hamilsci; //import B; //This was allowed in previous JDK version 1.3.1 public class Test { public Test() { B lb = new B(); } public static void main(String arg[]) { new Test(); } } ---------- END SOURCE ---------- (Review ID: 144027) ======================================================================
