Javac error: Cannot find Symbol

Question

I had programmed several programs and I had compiled some of them, but know I have programmed a Chat messenger. And when I compile the Server or the Client I always get an error from javac. "error: cannot find symbol". And by both the error is at the constructor of other class how should construct there. example: ``` Chat.java:11 error: cannot find symbol Frame frm = new Frame(); ^ Symbol: class Frame location: class Chat Chat.java:11 error: cannot find symbol Frame frm = new Frame(); ^ Symbol: class Frame location: class Chat ``` MAIN ``` package main; public class Chat { public static void main(String args[]){ Frame frm = new Frame(); frm.setLayout(null); frm.setVisible(true); frm.setSize(800, 600); frm.setResizable(false); // a loop who wait for an true boolean frm.abfrage(); while(true){ frm.readChat(); } } } ``` FRAME Class without Functions(only Constructor) ``` package main; //action + windowlistener + event import; //Inputreader,writer,reader and IOException import; //socket i…

Accepted Answer

In your Chat.java you are referencing your own Frame.class which lies in the same package. So there is no need for an import.

But the Frame.class has to be accessible to the Compiler, either by adding it to the classpath of the compiler or better by compiling all of your java files in a single compile call. For example:

```
javac Frame.java Chat.java
```

One problem might be if the Frame.java has compilation errors that prevents it from compiling so that there is no Frame.class.
