Anyway, I'm not a java guru and am trying to write a Makefile based procedure to add to the distribution. I realize there are other hacks that have to be made to the .java files (will try to script those) but obviously I'm doing something stupid if I can't even get the most simple file to build. Note that I'm moving all of the .java files into their own directory apart from the C stuff. Ideas?

Hi Steve,

can you give the exact error message? When you "swigg" mapscript to
java-files as package "mapscript" they all must be in a directory
called "mapscript". Then you compile with:

javac mapscript/*.java

and it should work.
