How can I import my own packages?
Hello everybody, I'm new here so nice to meet you all
I made a package in the following direction:
C:\users\asada\desktop\myPackageName
and I'm typing some codes in IntelliJ IDEA but when I type the following command at the top of my source code I get an error that says "package myPackageName does not exist"
I wonder if you could help me, thank you for your responses.import myPackageName.*;
Re: How can I import my own packages?
Does the classpath path for the javac command point to the folder that holds the myPackageName folder?
javac -cp pathToFolderWithPackage;. TheClass.java
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: How can I import my own packages?
I don't even know what is classpath that you mentioned, anyway how can I set it up to the right directory?
Re: How can I import my own packages?
The classpath is a list of one or more directory paths that the javac and java commands will use to find java classes.
In this command that is issued in the folder that holds the TheClass.java file:
javac -cp pathToFolderWithPackage;. TheClass.java
replace pathToFolderWithPackage with the directory path to the folder that holds the myPackageName folder.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: How can I import my own packages?
Where do I have to type this command?
I typed it in cmd but I got an error that says
"no source files"
Re: How can I import my own packages?
Yes you're right, I saw a video about creating a package on youtube and followed him. If that tutorial is correct so I did create a package.

Has the problem been solved now?
