18,397 PointsAnyone using sublime text and java?
I'm currently using sublime text to compile my individual java files and then running from the terminal (mac os) and this works fine.
However, when I attempt to do the same with a java file that depends on another, such as Example.java and PezDispenser.java, I am not able to compile.
Although both files are in the same directory, PezDispenser is not recognized when I attempt to compile Example.java.
Example.java:8: error: cannot find symbol PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
Any ideas?
Akilah Jones
18,397 PointsUnfortunately, I have not resolved the issue...
I've opted to just compile and run from terminal (for now), but would ultimately like to get sublime working. So thanks alot for offering to look around as well! It's greatly appreciated :-)

If you haven't got this working yet, I managed to with the help of this thread.
I'm now able to compile multiple java files and run main in one step.
Cheers

18,397 PointsThanks, Robert!
The following steps worked for me...
Created javacr.sh in home directory:
javac $1.java
java $1
Created New Build System in Sublime:
{
"cmd": ["/Users/casa/javacr.sh", "$file_base_name" ],
"file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
"working_dir": "${file_path}",
"selector": "source.java"
}
Made script executable via terminal:
$ chmod 755 /Users/casa/javacr.sh
NOTE: The build failed until I made the last change per http://www.macinstruct.com/node/415

I may have understood it wrong, but did you compile both PezDispenser.java and Example.java?</p><p>
If not, please compile PezDispenser.java first and then Example.java and try again.</p><p> Thanks.</p>
Akilah Jones
18,397 PointsYes, I did compile it and a class file was generated, it's just when I attempt to compile Example.java ...it doesn't recognize PezDispenser.
Thanks

Do you have the java-repl installed?</p><p>
Else, it won't recognize the command and you may have to initialize the object from the program itself.</p><p>
You may find this post useful.</p><p>
Awaiting your reply.</p>
Akilah Jones
18,397 PointsI do have java-repl installed and can load PezDispenser in the repl.
I actually (as a work-around) took the code from Example.java and pasted it into the java-repl just to test that the code was working as expected.
I also loaded Example and tried to call main from within the repl, i.e. Example.main(), but that was unsuccessful.
Thanks

By copying it from Example.java, did you mean the one that was provided or the one you had in your system?</p><p>
If it was the one in your system, please post below, the code that did not work .</p><p>
Just want to make sure that the issue does not have something to do with the code.</p><p>
Awaiting your reply. Thanks.</p>
Akilah Jones
18,397 PointsSure...
Although, I'm pretty sure the issue has to do with Sublime Text (code works fine in the repl).
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
The above snippet produces a "cannot find symbol" error
Thanks

Thanks for the response.</p><p>
Now, it is clear that it is not an issue with repl.</p><p>

Have you managed to get this problem fixed yet? I've used a bit of Sublime Text but not for compiling code however, if you're still having issues, I'll try and look around to see what can be done :)
