Beta is better?

I created the projects and looked at the same files in Netbeans 6.1 beta (the previous release) and it doesn't complain about not finding classes that are in the same directory.
So I'm going back to beta for now. It is odd, though. Maybe I'm doing something different in the two versions.
But this is my experience:

In one.two.three.Foo.java, the class is declared as:

public class Foo implements ActionListener, Bar{

Bar is a class defined in the same directory, in Bar.java.
Netbeans 6.1 Beta has no problem with this.
Netbeans 6.1 not beta—the later release—complains “cannot find symbol. Symbol: Bar"

The non-beta version was just released on April 28th. I haven't yet read of any problems like this on the mailing list.
