I'm using Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
on win xp SP2
I have folder structure as follows:
C:\temp\java\src\HelloWorld.java
C:\temp\java\src\com\trial\level\test\HelloWorld2.java
I'm trying to compile the files using sourcepath option but it seems it is not working, I'm using the following cmd command:
C:\temp\java>javac -sourcepath ./src -d ./classes -verbose
But getting this error:
C:\temp\java>javac -sourcepath ./src -d ./classes -verbose
javac: no source files

where possible options include:
-g Generate all debugging info
