Compiling a java file along with a package

Question

I made a package which contains certain java files and I have a java program which uses that package in order to do work. The files within the package all have package test; as their first line. The file that uses the package imports it by import test.*;. I have a make file that looks like this:

....
CLASSES = \
    Client.java \
    test/A.java \
    test/B.java \
    ...

The makefile produces *.class files without any issues. The package is a "server" of sorts, and I need to start an instance of it before I start running the Client. When I say java -cp . A config.properties in the ./test folder, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: A (wrong name: test/A)

How can I fix this?

Sample for the class plz?

Instead of (in the test folder)

java -cp . A

you need to go up one directory and

cd ..
java -cp . test.A

to get the A in the test package.
