I recently started using Eclipse IDE and have read at a number of places that one shouldn’t use the default(src) package and create new packages.
I just wanted to know the reason behind this.
Using the default package may create namespace collisions. Imagine you’re creating a library which contains a
MyClassclass. Someone uses your library in his project and also has aMyClassclass in his default package. What should the compiler do? Package in Java is actually a namespace which fully identifies your project. So it’s important to not use the default package in the real world projects.
