One conveniently uses files in a package by inserting
|
at the beginning of a file that needs classes from the mill package
-
Then classes in the mill package can be refered to by just using their Classname
-
Without the import command, one must explicitly say mill.Classname
|
|
Packages can be grouped hierarchically, with the corresponding directory tree. For example, the mill package could be a subpackage of agriculture. Then a class is referred to as agriculture.mill.Classname.
|
|
Except for classes provided with the Java language, all of which have the form java.X, a class that is imported or used must either be in the current directory or be accessible to the compiler through the CLASSPATH environment variable.
