Java Packages

[Gandorf61]

Right now I have a folder setup as follows:

 

bankApp (main folder)

> app

> dataCollections

> exceptions

> interfaces

 

Each of the four folders in bankApp have classes grouped together in the same package (ex/ all the classes in exceptions are "package exceptions;")

 

Now my problem is I need to import these exceptions, interfaces, etc. into a main application which is part of the app package in the app folder. However when I do this I get "package does not exist" when I try to import my exceptions and other classes. From what I understand it has something to do with having to set the classpath so that java will look for the files in the other folders but I can't figure out how to set this.

 

Any help/explanation on how this works would be much appreciated!

Shouldn't an IDE be able to handle that for you?
