If class TestPackage and DefPack are in 2 separate files, how can we
access DefPack from TestPackage?

Note -
1. TestPackage is in package testapps and DefPack is in the default
package space. This is the problem.
2. If I were to comment out the package statement within
TestPackage.java, this example would compile.
3. I need to be able to compile with the pacakge specifications being
the way they are.

// Compilation unit - TestPackage.java

package testapps;

public class TestPackage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new DefPack();
}
}


// Compilation unit - DefPack.java

public class DefPack {
public DefPack() {
System.out.println("DefPack created");
}
}

You really can't do that. You can not import classes from the default (== no
package statement given) package. So you'll never be able to reach DefPack
from TestPackage.

The only solution is to put DefPack in a proper package.

Thanks for the info. I unfortunately have to integrate my code with
some third party code written this way.
