Question

In order to complete a project, I need to alter a class file in a named package.

I cannot put it into the unnamed package; it is imported itself from other classes.

I cannot put all the dependencies into named packages, they are also relied upon by other classes.

My goal is to force javac through whatever means necessary to allow imports from the unnamed package. It’s bad practice, but I have no other choice.

Alternatively, how would I go about putting all of the imported classes into a package without recompiling them, reference that package in order to compile the target class, and then remove those references after the compile?

Answer 1

I solved the problem. I compiled the program by making barebones definitions of all classes and methods it imported inside a named package, and then used a program called Classeditor to edit out the package names/path after compiling.
