problem in Importing packages

[Triple-X]

HI
When i started programming in java I started with an IDE. I used the IDE and learned how to make predefined classes and how to use it from outside its package. I am posting a simple example below

import myPackage.mClass;

public class ClassInOtherPac {

    public static void main (String[] args) {

              mlass myObj = new mClass();
    }
}

Now my question is how can I make the package importing when I an not using an IDE. because when i am in college we only use dos and old version of bluej. Please advice. i know this is a simple question but as I started form IDE, I do not know how to make it the other way.

Hello
I think you want to say that the IDE would not generate the import line for you. Is this your question.

import myPackage.mClass;

public class ClassInOtherPac {

public static void main (String[] args) {

mlass myObj = new mClass();
}
}

Hi
Thanks for replying
That is the exact question. The problem is that I do not know exactly where to save the .class java file. I mean in which folder / package it will be located in so that I can call it. Is this is batch file I am referring to. please help. I think I do not have the basic knowledge of java, that is why I am going through just problems. And it was my big mistake to use the IDE at the staring of learning java. I am trying to improve it. Can you help please.

Hi
Well it is never late start studying java from the basics. No worries you can do it. And for your problem, you should have a source directory of something on which project you are working on. All the packages should be located there in a folder structure. I mean to say src/mypack and correspondingly all the class files will be located in this directory. This is the power of java. You can also use your own packages in other programs. But for now forget it, just study the basics.
