title: Compiling with JDK 1.8 java: cannot access class file... class file not found
body: <p>Though the same code was getting to compiled successfully with JDK 1.6 version, after upgrading to JDK 1.8 it won't compile, saying <code>java cannot access ....class file ...as class file not found though it exists</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am compiling this in IntelliJ Idea 13 IDE, tried with both Rebuild option as well as configured ANT build - result is same.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is highly appreciated.</p>

  class file for com.abc.xyz.orchestrator.dispatch.IDispatchRequest not found
