Java cannot find class within same package

+1
−3

I've written a class object, QueueObject, but when I try to construct it inside of my main class, it says it cannot find the symbol on compilation. I've read lots of pages saying how misspellings or import failures could cause it but both files are in the same package and I double checked spelling although I think Eclipse would tell me if I spelled QueueObject wrong.

QueueObject.java

package disksim;
public class QueueObject { 
//The total time the object has been inside the queue for
private double time;

//The objects position, 0 >= x <= 1023
private int id;

public QueueObject(int id) {
	this.time = 0.0;
	this.id = id;
}

public int getId() {
	return id;
}

public double getTime() {
	return time;
}

public void setTime(double time) {
	this.time = time;
}

public void addTime(double time) {
	this.time += time;
}
}

MainClass.java

package disksim;
public class MainClass {

private static String algore;
private static int Qsize;
private static String filePath;
private static ArrayList<QueueObject> queue = new 
    ArrayList<QueueObject>(Qsize);

public static void doFIFO() {
	File data = new File(filePath);	

	try {
		Scanner in = new Scanner(data);
		
		while (in.hasNextLine()) {
			if (queue.size() != Qsize) {
				queue.add(new QueueObject(Integer.parseInt(in.nextLine())));
			}
		}
		System.out.println(queue.toString());
		in.close();
	} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
		// TODO Auto-generated catch block
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

}

Please post your compilation errors as text, not as an image. Check this post for more details.

In this case, the image was actually helpful because it revealed that OP was invoking the compiler by hand rather than using the built in eclipse compiler.
