I have written a code in java. In which I have created a package called xml-creator.
Package xml_creator has 3 classes say XML_Control, XML_Creator, and XML_implement.
When I run my project on netbeans (NetBeans 7.0) it works fine. But if I try to compile code on console, I get various errors like
When I compiled XML_Creator.java, I get following errors.
XML_Creator.java:371: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable XML_implement
location: class xml_creator.XML_Creator
typeAttr.setValue(XML_implement.table_col[i][2]);
^
XML_Creator.java:375: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable XML_implement
location: class xml_creator.XML_Creator
for(int j=0;j<XML_implement.kTab;j++)
^
XML_Creator and XML_implemenr both are in same package but non of them extend each other.
I am sorry I cant show code on this site as it is too large and aginst the company's policies.
I dont understand why it is showing me errors?
Sample code
XML_Control.java
package xml_creator;
public class XML_Control
{
public static void main(String as[])
{
XML_Creator xml = new XML_Creator();
}
}
XML_Creator.java
package xml-creator;
public class XML_Creator
{
XML_implement ixml = new XML_implement();
public XML_Creator()
{
System.out.println(""+ixml.a);
}
}
XML_implement.java
package xml_creator;
public class XML_implement
{
public int a;
public XML_implement()
{
a = 10;
}
}
So when I compile XML_Creator.java, console gives error.
It sounds like you're compiling within the directory containing the .java file, and only telling the compiler about one of the source files. That's the problem - to try to find a source or class file, the compiler is using the package name, and expecting the packages to be laid out in the conventional fashion. Compile from the root of the source tree - which I certainly hope you're using - like this:
javac xml_creator/*.java
You may also want to specify an output directory - which again will be the root of the directory hierarchy for packages:
javac -d bin xml_creator/*.java
If you're building regularly from the command-line (and not just for throwaway code) you should look into using a build system such as Ant.

I have created a simple java project "DesignPatterns".
I created a file FacadePattern.java with the path being ~/DesignPatterns/Structural/FacadePattern/FacadePattern.java
My FacadePattern.java class,
public class FacadePattern {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Some code
}
}
But my editor (VSCode) gives me an error at the start of the file:
The declared package "" does not match the expected package "Structural.DecoratorPattern"
So upon clicking on quick fix, it added package Structural.FacadePattern; in the first line.
So the final code became
package Structural.FacadePattern;
public class FacadePattern {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Some code
}
}
But when I compile the above file using the command
javac FacadePattern.java && java FacadePattern
It is giving me the following error:
Error: Could not find or load main class FacadePattern
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Structural/FacadePattern/FacadePattern (wrong name: FacadePattern)
After searching a lot in the internet, I ran the following command:
javac -sourcefile ~/DesignPatterns FacadePattern.java && java FacadePattern
But no use, I am getting the same error.
Can anyone explain why my editor gave an error but code ran successfully before? and why wont it compile after adding "package Structural.FacadePattern;" line? and what is -sourcefile parameter in javac command? and how to run the code with successfully without errors in editor as well as the terminal?
Stick to naming rules. Package names should be lowercase only. In your case, it should be package structural.facadepattern;
Run the 'correct' class. Because your class is not inside 'the base folder' aka the 'default package', you have to prefix the class with its package name: java Structural.FacadePattern.FacadePattern or rather java structural.facadepattern.FacadePattern if you use the proper case for packages.
So I've tried to start compiling and running java on sublime, and it works fine if the package is not defined.
this compile and run:
public class Tester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("this is a test.");
}
}
But if I add a package:
package test;
public class Tester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("this is a test.");
}
}
I got this error
Error: Could not find or load main class Tester
[Finished in 6.8s with exit code 1]
[cmd: ['javac "Tester.java" && java "Tester"']]
[dir: /Users/ph/Documents/JAVA/test]
[path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]
Any idea why is this happening or how to fix it?
[cmd: ['javac "Tester.java" && java "Tester"']]
[dir: /Users/ph/Documents/JAVA/test]
Sublime Text is trying to compile your program in a directory called "test" (see #2), which is the package name. It is looking for a file named "Tester.java" within that directory (see #1), but it doesn't exist because "Tester.java" is inside the current directory ("JAVA").
When compiling Java files in packages, the files need to be in a directory structure that reflects the package hierarchy. So you need to move your file to the directory that corresponds to the package it is contained in. For example, class "A" in package example.utils.letters would have to exist at the path ../example/utils/letters/A.java
Create folder "JAVA/test" and move Tester.java into there, then run it.
I'm trying to compile the following code (one of two files I need to complete this homework) but I'm getting 2 errors in cmd. This is what cmd throws at me:
CarRentalTest.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
CarRental myCarRental = new CarRental(); //create CarRental object CarRental
^
symbol: class CarRental
location: class CarRentalTest
CarRentalTest.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
CarRental myCarRental = new CarRental(); //create CarRental object CarRental
^
symbol: class CarRental
location: class CarRentalTest
2 errors
And this is the code I'm trying to compile.
public class CarRentalTest {
public static void main (String[] args)
{
CarRental myCarRental = new CarRental(); //create CarRental object CarRental
myCarRental.Customers();
} //end method main
} //end class CarRentalTest
What's weird is that the whole thing runs fine in NetBeans. What am I doing wrong here? :9
What am I doing wrong here?
Not building CarRental, or not telling the compiler where to find the class if you have already compiled it. The IDE is probably assuming you want to build everything, so that's fine.
We don't know how your code is organized, but you should either pass all the relevant filenames to the compiler at the same time:
javac -d classes src\CarRental.java test\CarRentalTest.java
... or put the output directory of the earlier compilation in the classpath for the later compilation, e.g.
javac -d classes src\CarRental.java
javac -d testclasses -cp classes test\CarRentalTest.java
If you are using a standard directory layout for your project, where production and test code are in separate directory trees then the java command line will not see the production class if your currect directory is the test directory.
To clarify:
Suppose you have this dir structure:
src/
main/
java/
mypackage/
CarRental.java
test/
java/
mypackpage/
CarRentalTest.java
and you are in the 'src/test/java/mypackage/' directory, you would experience this error when running javac at the command line - although the production and test classes are in the same package, they are in different directories.
The IDE knows about this directory structure, includes the test path during compilation and therefore it works OK.
You need to import CarRental class in the CarRentalTest.
import yourpackage.CarRental in the CarRentalTest. Java Compiler can't find the CarRental in the CarRentalTest.java.
In the IDE whole package comes in the java file
import package.car.*;
This is why it is working in IDE.
Currently trying to work with objects in Java. Everything goes fine until I hit compile. Have been reading a couple of other questions regarding the same problem, or the same given error, and at this point I am not sure wether I am forgetting something or that I need to change my classpath.
Main Class file:
package TesterClass;
public class Tester {
public static void main(String[] args){
TesterClass firstTest = new TesterClass();
firstTest.stringPrinter();
}
}
The file that is supposed to be functioning as a package file:
package TesterClass;
public class TesterClass{
private String workingSegment;
public TesterClass(){
workingSegment = "Working";
}
public void stringPrinter(){
System.out.println(workingSegment);
}
}
The 2 files are in the same directory and I am trying to manually compile them with
"javac Tester.java". The error I get is about the fact that its having issues with the package. All help is welcome!
EDIT: Forgot to post the actual compiler error.
Tester.java:9: cannot find symbol
symbol : class TesterClass
location: class TesterClass.Tester
TesterClass firstTest;
^
Tester.java:11: cannot find symbol
symbol : class TesterClass
location: class TesterClass.Tester
firstTest = new TesterClass();
^
2 errors
Move to the top of the source tree and compile both class...
So, assuming you source files are in \Java\TesterClass, you need to start in \Java
javac TesterClass\Tester.java TesterClass\TesterClass.java
You may also want to have a quick read of Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language as packages names are suppose to be in lower case :P
Updated
I just tried...
javac TesterClass\Tester.java
And it worked fine.
Are you sure that the Tester.java and TesterClass.java are in the TesterClass directory?
Updated with running example
So, basically, I dropped you .java files into the directory \compile under the TesterClass (\compile\TesterClass) directory and compiled them using...
\compile>javac TesterClass\Tester.java
Then I run them...
\compile>java TesterClass.Tester
Working
You need to go to the top of the directory hierarchy and first compile your TesterClass and then compile your Tester. Since you have not compiled your TesterClass yet, Tester is unable to find it.
The error clearly states that its not able to find the symbol TesterClass, and the reason being TesterClass hasn't been compiled yet.
I suggest you use an IDE which does the compilation automatically for you. If you stick to manual compilation, you need to compile all the classes in the proper order.
Try changing the package name so it does not match the class name. Right now they are the same. Make it package TesterClassPackage, then import TesterClass into the file with the main() method. Even though they are in the same package sometimes you need to literally import files even though they are in the same package.
javac TesterClass\TesterClass.java TesterClass\Tester.java
will do it
I have two Java classes "giveMyOb" and "dataConn" declared in the same directory. Both are public classes. "giveMyOb" has a static method "getMine()". Inside dataConn, I called the static method as
giveMyOb.getMine();
When I try to compile dataConn.java, the following error is returned.
"Cannot find symbol
symbol: variable giveMyOb
location : class dataConn
giveMyOb.getMine(); "
It used to work earlier. But is not working now. Why is that?
Additional Information: JDK 1.6. Windows 7. 64 bit.
Update(30 days after the question): When compiled from Eclipse, the classes are referenced and it works. But the same won't work when compiling from command line. I was unable to figure out the reason and nothing logical comes to my mind!
javac -classpath . *.java
ought to create both .class files at the same time. It's more complicated by packages. I'm assuming you have none.
Learn the Sun Java coding conventions. You aren't following them with those class names. They should start with a capital letter.
Try this:
giveMyOb.java
public class giveMyOb {
public static String getMine() {
return "Yay, it works!";
}
}
dataConn.java
public class dataConn {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(giveMyOb.getMine());
}
}
Then compile it all:
javac *.java
and run the main class:
java -cp . dataConn
// output: Yay, it works!
Note that Java's coding conventions recommend class names start with a capital.
If "it" still doesn't work, try removing the .class files manually then recompile again.
