Hi!
I downloaded a Jar file call Voip.jar and inside the jar file it has a directory called com and a subdirectory called classes which contain all the classes I am referencing from my program.
What is the proper way to reference them with import?
import com.classes.*;
import Voip.com.classes.*;
I can't figure it out,
David

Then contrary to what you say, it is not in the classpath. When you say classpath I hope you're not talking about some environment variable named CLASSPATH. You should tell the compiler and runtime what your necessary classpath is at that time and not depend on an environment variable.
javac -classpath /path/Voip.jar;(other classpath elements here) ...
java -classpath (ditto) ....
I see where I went wrong. I did not realise that the Jar file has to be part of the classpath.
What I had was:
in a directory called java_dev:
myapp.java
myapp.class
someclassesina.jar
My command was:
java -classpath ./ myapp.class
What I should oh had was:
java -classpath ./someclassesina.jar myapp.class
Forums are for figuring out those subtle differences. :)
Thanks,
David
