Javac can't find class that is in the same directory

I am trying to compile a Java file and I'm getting this error message:

$ javac -cp "bc-j-mapi-w-2.4.jar;apache-commons/*;json-org/*;lib/*" BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI.java
BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI.java:57: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class BrightcoveAPI
location: class BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI
        BrightcoveAPI brightcoveAPI = new BrightcoveAPI(BrightcoveAPI.PROD_READ_URL_TOKEN);
        ^
BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI.java:57: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class BrightcoveAPI
location: class BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI
        BrightcoveAPI brightcoveAPI = new BrightcoveAPI(BrightcoveAPI.PROD_READ_URL_TOKEN);
                                          ^
BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI.java:57: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable BrightcoveAPI
location: class BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI
        BrightcoveAPI brightcoveAPI = new BrightcoveAPI(BrightcoveAPI.PROD_READ_URL_TOKEN);
                                                        ^
3 errors

This would suggest that javac cannot find the class BrightcoveAPI. I'm not sure what the problem is as it is in the same directory:

$ ls
apache-commons  bc-j-mapi-w-2.4.jar  BrightcoveAPI.class  BrightcoveAPI.java  BrightcoveVideoQueryPOI.java  json-org  lib
