Why does package javax.servlet still does not exist even after setting the classpath?

I am using jdk1.5.0 and Tomcat 5.5. I recently edited the class path to

javac -cp.;/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/lib/servlet-api.jar

and i also created a default servlet folder i was required to create which should be located at

C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes.

but i still get the same errors

package javax.servlet does not exist
package javax.servlet.http does not exist

and i don't know if 

Failed to load Main-class manifest attribute

from JVM Launcher has nothing to do with the errors i got.

Thank you for taking time to help.

Try adding quotes and using backslashes. I think the space in "Program Files" etc. will break the line into another argument.

javac -cp ".;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\lib\servlet-api.jar"
