I have made a class named Log in a file named Log.java.

Now, I am trying to instantiate an Object of class Log in another Class (lets say Trace.java), in main method (public static void main(String argv[])).

Whenever I try to execute follwing snippet, I get an error 

Log l = new Log();

Error is :

error: cannot find symbol
    Log l = new Log();

    Is Log in the same package? If not, you need to import it. Commented Oct 12, 2014 at 14:49
  • You're not executing the snippet. You're compiling the Trace class. How are you doing it? What are the packages of these two classes? Commented Oct 12, 2014 at 15:01
  • Yes @JBNizet, I apologies for mistake I am not using any IDE, I have defined Log.java and Trace.java in same directory and mentioned "package asgmnt;" in both the files. Commented Oct 12, 2014 at 15:01
  • So, what's the name of this directory, which commands are you executing, from which directory? Show us the tree of files/folders, and tell us what you're doing, precisely. Do that by editing your question. Commented Oct 12, 2014 at 15:05
  • Name of this directory is "asgmnt" and I have already compiled Log.java which was successful and I am getting above error, when I try to compile Trace.java using command javac "Trace.java" Commented Oct 12, 2014 at 15:07
