hi,
I have a programme which has 3 classes. i have all 3 in different class files. how can i use the other two classes from the one which contains my main method?

thank u in advance!!

If the classpath is properly set, then those other classes should be visible to the class with main().

but when i try to compile, the class with main it gives me an error!

How are you compiling? [gcj, eclipse, or some other tool?]

compiling with gcj. should i import the classes to the main method? if so what is the way. the test classes for all 3 compiles fine. but i cannot put them together!

Yes, I found that annoying with gcj, but the class that contains main needs to specified when compiled. For example, using the class I provided in your other post, the command used to compile that (with gcj) is: (using both Fedora5, and cygwin that I have)
I had to RTFM to find that '--main' tidbit.

thanks a lot!!!!!! it worked at last!!

Note too, that you can also compile by simply using the javac [java compile] command:
and this will eliminate the need for the '--main=' option with gcj.
