I have a file called RS232.java &nbsp;initially it did not belong to a package so I could simply do a javac RS232.java and then javah -jni RS232. &nbsp;Now I add the statement package bird; to RS232 and can no longer use javah. &nbsp;RS232 is in the directory bird and I have tried javah -jni bird.RS232 from 'bird' parent directory which is where I compiled this application. &nbsp;I also tried javah -jni RS232 from within the bird directory. &nbsp;No matter what I try I always get the error &nbsp;'RS232: no such class' The whole application compiles and runs fine bur crashes when a native call is attempted.

I have a file called RS232.java  initially it did not belong to a package so I could simply do a javac RS232.java and then javah -jni RS232.  Now I add the statement package bird; to RS232 and can no longer use javah.  RS232 is in the directory bird and I have tried javah -jni bird.RS232 from 'bird' parent directory which is where I compiled this application.  I also tried javah -jni RS232 from within the bird directory.  No matter what I try I always get the error  'RS232: no such class' The whole application compiles and runs fine bur crashes when a native call is attempted.

how to get javah to work with a package?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
