12,026 Pointsafter compiling only the Main.class can be found in the out/com/teamtreehouse/override folder
I am following along the video in the workspace, however as we get to the step where we change the output directory for the javac comand, I only end up with a 'Main.class' in the output folder and I am missing the 'Cheese.class'. In the video you can see that both class files are created in the output folder. Why doesnt javac compile Cheese.java?
When I compiled using the default output directory (the same directory as where the Main.java and Cheese.jave are located) I ended up with both class files correctly.
I used the below command in the console
treehouse:~/workspace$ javac -Xlint -d out -cp src src/com/teamtreehouse/override/Main
.java
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
and this is the code of both classes
package com.teamtreehouse.override;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Cheese myCheese = new Cheese();
System.out.println(myCheese);
}
}
package com.teamtreehouse.override;
public class Cheese {
@Override
public String toString() {
return "String cheese!";
}
}

5,867 PointsDo you only have one file? If so, you'll only have one class. Each .java file is compiled into it's own .class file. The only time you would see two .class files is if you separated Main and Cheese into two separate files.
