Foil 70 Overview of Packages

From CRPC Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics CRPC Annual Meeting Tutorial -- May 14,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


The command
package cps616;
can be used to group classes together. A package statement can be repeated -- e.g all students could use the above package statement in their Java files and the corresponding classes would be grouped in this one package
Note classes are called package.Classname where packages in Java system are all termed java.subpackagename
One uses files in a package by inserting
  • import cps616.* at beginning of file that neededs classes from cps616 package
  • In this case classes in cps616 package can be refered to by just using their Classname
  • Without import command, one must explicitly say cps616.Classname
