I usually don’t have any problems setting up the classpath and running programs, but I’m running into a bit of a problem. I’m working on a program that will download a series of reports. If the working directory is called Report downloader, my project resides in
src/org/report/reportdownloader
and the jar files I’m working with reside in
lib/
When I’m going to compile my project (I’m in windows 🙁 ) I type in
javac -classpath .;..\..\..\..\..\lib.transfer.jar; ..\..\..\..\..\lib.someotherjar.jar; ReportGrabber.java ReportDriver.java
I get an error message saying
ReportDriver.java:12: error:package com.transfer does not exist
import com.transfer.*;
^
1 error
And I don’t really understand why. I’m trying to import a valid package, and I showed it where to find the jar in the classpath and it’s still giving me grief.
I’m losing my mind, I feel so dumb for asking about this. I could give up and just use eclipse but I really want to figure this out.
EDIT: When I type
java -cp .;..\..\..\..\lib\transfer.jar; ..\..\..\..\lib\someotherjar.jar; ReportDriver
to run the file, I get an error saying
Error: could not find or load main class ..\..\..\..\lib\someotherjar.jar;
Any ideas?
Why are there 5 .. instead of 4?
to access your lib directory from reportdownloader, you have to do
not
