Package
Creating Our Own Packages
| The first step is to decide what the name of our package is going to be. |
| The name we choose for our package depends on how we are going to be using those classes. |
| Step two in creating packages is to create a directory structure on our disk that matches the package name. |
| If your package has just one name (mypackage), we'll only have to create a directory for that one name. |
| If the package name has several parts, however, we'll have to create directories within directories. |
| For the package name edu.nonsense.eng.fooblitzky, we'll need to create an edu directory and then create a nonsense directory inside edu, an eng directory inside nonsense, and a fooblitzky directory inside eng. Our classes and source files can then go inside the fooblitzky directory. |
| Use package to Add Our Class to a Package |
| The final step to putting our class inside packages is to add the package command to our source files. |
| The package command says "this class goes inside this package," and is used like this: |
| package myclasses; package edu.nonsense.eng.fooblitzky; package java.awt; |
