I prefer to write my code with terminal on my mac and execute with command line. I havent really started writing code yet because the package cannot be found. Ive tried:
import selenium.*;
among other things could anybody help?
Appreciate it.
Re: Package does not exist
If you are getting error messages, please copy the full text and paste it here. Images are hard to read and copy contents from.
Where is the package you are referring to in the import statement? It needs to be on the classpath so the java compiler can find it.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Package does not exist
Sorry about that.
javac Pgrm.java
Pgrm.java:12: package selenium does not exist
import selenium.*;
^
1 error
and the selemium folder is on my Desktop. It contains the selenium source.jar and selenium.jar, also a libs folder.
Re: Package does not exist
The selenium folder must be on the classpath so the compiler and java programs can find it. That's for class files.
If the class files are in jar files, the jar files must be on the classpath.

Re: Package does not exist
I've found my java class path and it is /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
So should I put the jar files and the libs folder in there or the entire folder? and how would i import this?
Thanks again Norm.
Re: Package does not exist
The way to set the classpath for a specific project is to use the javac and java commands' -cp option on the commandline. For Windows: (don't know filename separator for Mac)
javac -cp .;jarfile1.jar;jarfile2.jar Javasource.java
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
