how do i import files?
Hi, I'm just starting to learn java. But I want to be able to import files that are not in the original java library. I have made a separate folder in which there are some files that I would like to import but I keep getting an error saying that it does not exist. I'm using comand promt, and I guess I have to set it somehow, but I don't know how. Please help

Could i just add classpath to the eviornment variables? So, for example... classpath c:\classes. Would that work? Because I have a couple in a different folders and I want to access all of them. And I tried to do javac -classpath c:\classes, but that doesn't seem to work for some reason and i get errors.

Where are the class files you are trying to import and what is your CLASSPATH variable?

Well, in c:, i have a folder called j and in there i have many folders some which have more folders, or which have different files that i would like to import.
Example: if your folder C:\FOLDER1 contains a file called File1.class which you would like to use in your program, use:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\F
Do you have those files in a package? Or are they in the default package? Did you read the link I posted?
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\F

iamnamja,
to save you time from setting classpath everytime you run an app, edit autoexec.bat
to include
set classpath=%CLASSPATH%;C:\c
that will set your existing class path as well as c:\classes you can add additional classes delimtered by the semi colon ;
by editing autoexec.bat you set you clasapath at bootup. alot less hassle :)

javac -classpath directorypath MyClass.java
java -classpath directorypath MyClass
then your import statements should work.
