Compiling complication, extending a class
<p>I have my two classes in a package called beginsthings. FirstClass compiles fine (of course, it doesn't extend anything), but SecondClass extends the first and the compiler is saying it cannot find FirstClass in it. I am trying to compile by going to the directory and typing javac beginsthings/SecondClass.java, am I doing something wrong?</p>

<p><strong>error:</strong></p>

<pre><code>beginsthings/SecondClass.java:6: cannot find symbol
symbol: class FirstClass
public class SecondClass extends FirstClass {
</code></pre>

<p>^it wont find the FirstClass being extended. I know the code inside works bc its a sample from a library
and package beginsthings is a folder in a src folder.</p>

<p><strong>beginsthings/FirstClass.java:</strong></p>

<pre><code>package beginsthings;

//bunch of gui imports
public class FirstClass {

//some code for drawing a circle

}
</code></pre>

<p><strong>beginsthings/SecondClass.java:</strong></p>

<pre><code>package beginsthings;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

public class SecondClass extends FirstClass {

   //code for the drop goes here, but extending FirstClass already doesn't work.
    }
</code></pre>
