Java code not compiling with 'javac' but compiles in Eclipse

Question

I have just written a Java multi-threaded program in Eclipse. It compiled fine and works like a charm.

However, as this is coursework we are required to ensure that it compiles in the command line using 'javac' otherwise we score ZERO!

So, some classes compile others don't. The error I'm getting is the following ( they are all similar just with different class names, this is one example)

GateRunnable.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Station
location: class package.name.here.GateRunnable
    public GateRunnable(Station st) {
                        ^

Is this a javac issue? Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Your compile -classpath and/or -sourcepath is incomplete. The compiler doesn't know where to find class Station. Here is a related question that describes how to set the classpath to include all the classes you want.
