Main class not found,even though its there

package p1;

class a {
    public static void main(String[] argument) {
        //nothing
    }
}

And when I type java p1.a in command prompt, it always say Main class not found? Why so?

Can any one help me out? Why this is happening? Is the syntax correct?

First as there is a package p1; you need to create the folder p1 and put the file inside it then as you said if you folder p1 is in desktop, then open the cmd in desktop then compile it by javac p1/a.java and run it by java p1.a

When you create a package, you have to compile the package with -d option in javac. Then try executing the main class.

you need to do javac first.. javac generates a .class file. And try using the full (absolute) path when using java command.
