  here is file1.java
  public class file1{
  public static int i=5;
  }
  here is file2.java
  class file2{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
  System.out.println("value of i = "+file1.i);
  }
  }
  both are in the same directory(folder). i compiled file1.java first. it got compiled. then i compiled file2.java. i get the following message.
  C:\Documents and Settings\Aruljose\Desktop>javac file1.java
  C:\Documents and Settings\Aruljose\Desktop>javac file2.java

  location: class file2
  System.out.println("value of i = "+file1.i);

  please answer if you can

  You've probably got your CLASSPATH environment variable set, and it doesn't include "." to stand in for the current directory. Have a look at this document for info about CLASSPATH.
  If you're having this sort of problem, I recommend not having CLASSPATH set at all.

  Please don't post duplicate questions in multiple forums -- it just wastes people's time, as this one has wasted mine. Further followups here, please.
