if I have my Main.kt and Foo.kt and Bar.kt in a directory, and Foo and Bar both have classes with the same names, how can I import them into Main.kt?

what i’m doing now is assigning the package <http://com.something.app|com.something.app> to all of them, and then inside Main.kt I do import com.something.app.Foo and attempt to use it inside Main, but it’s undefined

the way I’m running Main is just kotlinc Main.kt -include-runtime -d jar and then java -jar thatJar.jr

The docs say if you provide no package, they will all belong to the root package and you can use them freely if they are in the same directory, but even compiling them all isn’t allowing me to do that

You don't need the import if they are in the same package, but you do need to compile all the files. Currently you're only compiling Main.kt you could compile *.kt to compile all your files at the same time

How can you have classes with the same names in the same package? That's impossible.

Yea I did ‘Kotlinc *.TK’

Autocorrect…

One second

[oday]

there’s Node.kt, LinkedList.kt, and Runner.kt

[oday]

all in the same directory

[oday]

none of them have the package header right now

[oday]

LinkedList.kt uses Node.kt by creating a new Node, and Runner uses linkeList.kt by creating a new linkedlist

[oday]

now I do kotlinc *.kt and then I go into Runner.kt, kotlinc Runner.kt …. and produce a jar and run it, I get that LinkedList is unresolved

[oday]

ok the jar at the end is including Runner.kt only 🙂

thank you!
