Java Can't Find symbol intellij

Question

Can't find symbol issue Main.java is in the same package and directory as Database and RestrictedSQLActiveWriter but intelliji can find them on compile. they are all in DBMS/RDBMS. I have DBMS as the source folder. partner can compile on their computer so I know it is a configuration issue.

package RDBMS;

...


public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
 {

     System.out.print("Enter Query: ");
     ANTLRInputStream input = new ANTLRInputStream( System.in); //control D
     System.out.println();

     ...


     RestrictedSQLActiveVisitor visitor = new RestrictedSQLActiveVisitor(new Database());
     queryTree.accept(visitor);
 }

Error

I'd recommend setting up your directory structure following the Maven arrangement and marking the source folder appropriately. IntelliJ knows how to do this properly. https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html — duffymo, Apr 24 '21 at 22:36

Is *"for some reason"* a euphemism for something? – Stephen C Apr 25 '21 at 03:26
