Question

Is it possible to import a class in Java which is in the default package? If so, what is the syntax? For example, if you have

package foo.bar;

public class SomeClass {
    // ...

in one file, you can write

package baz.fonz;

import foo.bar.SomeClass;

public class AnotherClass {
    SomeClass sc = new SomeClass();
    // ...

in another file. But what if SomeClass.java does not contain a package declaration? How would you refer to SomeClass in AnotherClass?

Answer 1

You can’t import classes from the default package. You should avoid using the default package except for very small example programs.

From the Java language specification:

It is a compile
time error to import a type from the
unnamed package.
