Compiling 3 files not in the same package

Question

I have 3 *.Java files. Two of the three have the statement package com.osama.temp and the main class does not have this statement. It only imports the 2 other classes like import com.osama.temp.List.

I don't know how to compile it with the Command line console .. please Help!

Have you structured the source code file locations according to the package declarations? You don't have to, but it helps. — Jon Skeet

In the directory where the main class lives create a subdirectory structure like com/osama/temp/ and put the other 2 .java files in there. Then you should be able to compile it with javac Main.java

I would personally always specify all of the source files, rather than relying on it finding them itself. It just feels cleaner to me.

Is there another way to tell the compiler where my *.class files exists !
