Newbie - cannot find file for class - how to debug?

[Marco Trudel]

Hello Scott

This is a common problem. Here googles answer:
http://72.14.221.104/search?q=cache:zqxXVGPomEAJ:home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~umjenki5/articles/gcjQuestion.html
(I had to use the cached site, the original seems to be down)

Another possibility would be to use JavaCompiler 
(http://javacompiler.sf.net). It's basically a frontend for gcj with 
some additional tools...
