Suppose I have added the line
package com.klump.shapes;
at the top of a java file. If I am in the folder c:\\temp\\, and I compile the file Circle.java using the line
javac –d . Circle.java
in what folder will Circle.class be written?

Solution

We need to include the package statement as the first statement in the source file so as to make a class as part of a package.

Therefore, when we include the package statement \"package com.klump.shapes;\" as the top most statement of our java file Circle.java , then Circle.java now becomes part of this package.

While compiling a java source code, we need to use the -d option to specify the package base directory of the compiled class.

After compilation, Circle.class will be written in :

c:\\temp\\com\\klump\\shapes\\Circle.classes
