title: Java package - class not found, same directory
body: <p>I have two Java classes "giveMyOb" and "dataConn" declared in the same directory. Both are public classes. "giveMyOb" has a static method "getMine()". Inside dataConn, I called the static method as </p>
  
  <pre><code>giveMyOb.getMine();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to compile dataConn.java, the following error is returned.</p>
  
  <p>"Cannot find symbol</p>
  
  <p>symbol: variable giveMyOb<br>
  location : class dataConn<br>
                  giveMyOb.getMine();  "</p>
  
  <p>It used to work earlier. But is not working now. Why is that?</p>
  
  <p>Additional Information: JDK 1.6. Windows 7. 64 bit.</p>
  
  <p>Update(30 days after the question): When compiled from Eclipse, the classes are referenced and it works. But the same won't work when compiling from command line. I was unable to figure out the reason and nothing logical comes to my mind!</p>
