com/Example.java

I am trying to compile using

javac Example.java and it says Example.java is not found.

if I compile using

javac com/Example.java, it works but says it can't find the Treet class. Which I assume is the same problem with it being in the com folder just like the Example file.

What are you using to compile? Workspaces? CMD? What does the file structure of the project look like?

I'm in the workspace compiler. this is my code

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;

public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args){ Treet treet = new Treet(); System.out.printf("This is a new Treet: %s %n", treet); }

}

I am having the same issue. Another question titled "Workspace not working?" mentioned to restart the browser, however I am still having the issue.

In the video lesson the Example class is outside the teemtreehouse folder. Only the Treet file is inside the folder. Example.java needs to be on the same level as the com.

Maybe this is what you made wrong ?

Let us know ....

javac: file not found: Example.java
