Re: sourcepath issue

Nathan,

Thanks for the reply. After reading the documentation,
I realized it was my fault. I did not realize the
source path directory should be set up to reflect the
classes' package structure, as the doc said, like a 
class path. I had put all source files that belong to
two packages under one directory. I made the changes
and it works for me now. Since there maybe people like
me who do not read the docs first, my suggestion is
change the error message a little bit when the source
file could not be found to something like "sourcepath 
and source file directory structures should be set up
to reflect the classes' package structure .." 

I have also registered as a user and responded to the
confirmation request.
