Package does not exist when compile in Jgrasp 1.8.3

I have a package called jpb stored in a folder called jpb. The package has two files SimpleIO.java and Convert.java. My program has 1 of the line like this

...

import jpb.*;

...

I put the path and classpath in Jgraps pointing to the folder jpb but when I compile the program, it keeps saying the package does not exist. Even when i took all the files outside and place it in the same folder with the file that i am compiling. It says that bad class file. The heck?.

Can some1 please help. I even made an autoexec.bat to set up the path to the folder and run it. it keeps saying the package does not exist.

Classpaths reference things like jar files or directories that contain .class files. Change your classpath to have the .jar files.
