Where is "package com.macfaq.io" - help
Where is the "package com.macfac.io"? is it included with jdk1.5.0.06? If not where and how does one get in installed?
I have downloaded and installed jdk1.5.0.06. I am trying to compile a class that starts as follows:
package com.macfaq.io
Import java.io.*
public class SafeBufferedReader extends BufferedReader {
public SafeBufferedReader(Reader in) {
this(in, 1024);
}
etc.
another class has the following line:
import com.macfaq.io.SafeBufferedReader;
later in program an object is created new ....
It does not compile because it says that the package is not defined. I have looked in C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0.06\bin, lib and have not found anything with "com.macfaq" name. But I haven't found anything with the name "java.io" either and it doesn't complain about it.
Thanks

It is not in the standard JDK. Download the com.macfac package here: ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/languages/java/javafaq/javaio.jar
Put the JAR file in your classpath, and you'll be able to import classes from it.
Good luck.
Thank you all for your help. I created the package and included in my path and the application compiled and ran.
I have a lot to learn... for some application that import java.io* do not require javaio.jar to be in the lib directory. How and when do I need a separate jar (javaio.jar) such that I can successfully import java.net, java.util, etc.

java-, javax- and some org-packages are provided with a standard JDK installation. Other 3rd party packages you'll have to download and include in your classpath like you did with the javaio.jar file.
Here's a link to all the "standard" packages/classes: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/
Good luck.
