Here's what I do first: use 'loadjava -verbose' to load all my .java files. After this step, some of them will be valid and some won't. The ones that are valid, don't depend on any other classes. The ones that are invalid, depend on subclasses.

Find all the 'invalid' classes that are one generation up from the valid classes (depend only on the child classes already resolved). For each of them, use 'loadjava -resolve' to resolve references to subclasses. Repeat this, moving up the generation level until all classes have been resolved (should now be valid).

When you issue the 'loadjava' command, you want to be in a directory where your CLASSPATH can find all your .java sources. For example, before I do loadjava, I 'cd /projects/everest' (because that's the "root" of my cvs tree). All my .java source is somewhere below that (eg, com/mycompany/common).

Yes, you made sense. The Oracle docs have some info on loadjava, though it's hard to mentally translate it into a given situation (since they assume a configuration that they never quite get around to explaining).

But hope this helps. I'm going home for the day ... so if you need to ask me another question, don't count on me responding soon. :)
