I can compile and even run Java programs, but the compiler will not recognize packages. I cannot import a package I created and I cannot use other classes located inside of a package I created. I included the package <package_name>; header in every different class. Please Help...........

The problem is that you need to change your working directory and command name. If you have a 2-level package structure, such as:

com.mycompany.MyClass

Then you need to change your working directory from:

$FileDir

to:

$FileDir\..\..

That will drive you two directories up.

Also, you'll need to change the class name parameter sent to java.exe, from:

$BaseName

to:

com.mycompany.$BaseName

That should get it worked out. The problem is that TextPad has no understanding of packages or FQCN's, so you need to hold its's hand through it.

Anyone know how to make the package name into a varialbe like $BaseName?

thanks,
