I was not aware that dot notation even worked here.
In any case, it only partially "worked", not completely, at best, because you have things in the wrong directories.

halts because it "cannot find symbol: class B". My question is: by
Because things are in the wrong directories.
adding other options, is it possible to have the compiler seek and
