You can reproduce the problem with the script included below.
It will create a few files and directories and then run javac.
When I do this, I get the following error messages:

./java/lang/reflect/Method.java:3: Class milk.java.lang.reflect.Method already defined in java/lang/reflect/Method.java.
public class Method
             ^
SillyMethod.java:3: Class java.lang.reflect.Method not found in import.
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
       ^
2 errors

Here's the script:

#!/bin/csh -f
#
# Bug in javac 1.1b3: The compiler gets confused about file/class
# names that partially mirror the java name hierarchy.
