This morning I made git pull on my java project and I run into this error:

Error:(9, 39) java: cannot find symbol
  symbol:   class UserDto
  location: package com.tests.dto

It seems that one of my colleague made some changes in the project and now it doesn't work.
But when I asked everyone else, they said it works. What am I doing wrong?

Quick solution:
Just delete target directory and compile the entire project

It works 95% of the times when I see this error.

Steps:

Delete entire target directory
Compile entire project
Run the project
