Compile doesn't see the derived class

[newbieBrian]

Hi All,

I have an abstract class,called Mybase.java, for example. I have a derived class called MyDerived.java that extends Mybase.java.

From the window command line, I compile the Mybase.java successfully, as it should be. When I compile Myderived.java I got the error:

C:\test\Myderiv ed.java:3: cannot fsymbol: class Mybase
public class Myderived extends Mybase

Please give me some help/idea of what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

You need to tell the compiler where to find the .class file for Mybase.
But before we do that, are you sure you are typing the class name correctly (including case) in the MyDerived class (or is it Myderived?).
Also are these classes in the same folder/package.

Sorry for the misspell, since it is not real files. I do have the java files spelling correctly. In fact, I was able to run the project using the eclipse. But I have trouble
setting up to work with the command line. Thanks any way.
