Hello,

I was a Eclipse user, and now I am trying to setting my project in IntelliJ to become an IntelliJ user.

However I got error like :

'Cannot find symbol class' error.

Situation is like this.

A.java

-----------

B {

}

A extends C {

}

-----------

Two different classes are exist at one java file.

And In upper case, error message like ' cannot find symbol C class'.

Even though I have C class file in the same package.

At eclipse, there is no compile error like that, but IntelliJ does.

So I think there is some missing setting, or more strict inspection at IntelliJ perhaps?

Any Idea what brings that error?

Please help me. Thanks

Regards MJ

B {

}

A extends C {

}

Is not enough to reproduce a problem, I have tried creating a simple runnable project:

A.java 

------------

class B {

}

class A extends C {

}




C.java
--------------

class C
{
static void test(){
System.out.println("test");
}
}




Main.java

---------------

public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
A.test();
}
}
