How can I import class from the same package in Java?

Question

How can I use one class from other class in the same package in the same directory? I have one class Utils:

package pl.jcubic;

public class Utils {
   public static String foo() {
      return "foo";
   }
}

and a class Service

package pl.jcubic;

public class Service {
   public String test() {
     return Utils.foo();
   }
}

both files have name the same as class, they are in directory ./pl/jcubic/ and when I compile Service I've got an error error: cannot find symbol in line where Utils is.

I've try

import Utils;

got 2 errors error: '.' expected and error: ';' expected in the same line

I've try

import pl.jcubic.Utils;

got error: cannot find symbol in line where import is and in the line where I use the class.

Answer 1

OK, I found the solution. I've compile using cd

cd pl/jcubic; javac  Service.java

but it don't work. But it work when I compile

$ javac pl/jcubic/Serive.java

Answer 2

You don't need to (and cannot).

Classes in the current package are implicitly in scope.

If you get an error, make sure that the other class has been compiled.
