I figured it out.
What caused this was that I did not declare the constructor for
myClass to be public. This apparently limits the scope of the
constructor to other classes in this package. Actually not a bad
idea in that it allows one to restrict the ability to manufacture
new instances of a class to those to whom you authorize.
