Stupid user question on rmic

I have the following directory tree structure and contents therein.

./class
`-- com
`-- project
`-- services
`-- lib
|-- Hello.class

As I read the docs on rmic, the following command line should result in the
creation of ./class/com/project/services/lib/Hello_Stub.class.

rmic -v1.2 -classpath class -d class com.project.services.lib.Hello

However, I get the following ClassNotFoundException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.project.services.lib.Hello not found in

What bonehead thing am I not doing corectly?

Simple test, try by specifying absolute paths:

rmic -v1.2 -classpath /some/absolute/path/class -d
/some/absolute/path/class com.project.services.lib.Hello

If you use SDK1.5 you don't need to use rmic, javac does the lot

Same result, ClassNotFoundException. However, if I change directory to the
"class" directory, and run the following command line it works fine.

rmic -v1.2 -classpath . -d . com.project.service.lib.Hello

I have tried absolute path, relative path, i.e. "./class", and rmic seems not
to use "-classpath' BUT, just on a lark, I tried the following command line
and it works.

CLASSPATH=./class rmic -v1.2 -d class com.project.services.lib.Hello

I assume rmic has a bug with option "-classpath"

Thanks for help, work around found and will be used.

I am using SuSE Linux, and it has someone's third party rmic command, which is
what I was running, not Sun's JDK rmic.

In short, Sun's rmic works as documented.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the help
