java package name_java package 命名空间

创建一个简单的maven 项目的命令是： mvn  archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.tellidea.run  -DartifactId=go -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

成功后，项目结构如下：

pom.xml中自己加了一段：

xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

执行编译：mvn compile 后，结构目录如下：

这两种方式都可以跑起来：

上面两种方式都可以运行 App.class成功！！

Java Package

Package are used in Java, in-order to avoid name conflicts and to control access of class, interface and enumeration etc. A package can be defined as a group of similar types of classes, interface, enumeration and sub-package. Using package it becomes easier to locate the related classes.

Package are categorized into two forms

Built-in Package:-Existing Java package for example java.lang, java.util etc.

User-defined-package:- Java package created by user to categorized classes and interface

Creating a package

Creating a package in java is quite easy. Simply include a package command followed by name of the package as the first statement in java source file.

package mypack;

public class employee

{

...statement;

}

The above statement create a package called mypack.

Java uses file system directory to store package. For example the .class for any classes you define to be part of mypack package must be stored in a directory called mypack.

Additional points on package:

A package is always defined in a separate folder having the same name as a package name.

Define all classes in that package folder.

All classes of the package which we wish to access outside the package must be declared public.

All classes within the package must have the package statement as its first line.

All classes of the package must be compiled before use (So that its error free)

Example of java package

//save as FirstProgram.java

package LearnJava;

public class FirstProgram{

public static void main(String args[]){

System.out.println("Welcome to package");

}

}

How to compile java package?

If you are not using any IDE, you need to follow the syntax given below:

javac -d directory javafilename

Example:

javac -d . FirstProgram.java

The -d switch specifies the destination where to put the generated class file. You can use any directory name like d:/abc (in case of windows) etc. If you want to keep the package within the same directory, you can use . (dot).

How to run java package program?

You need to use fully qualified name e.g. LearnJava.FirstProgram etc to run the class.

To Compile: javac -d . FirstProgram.java

To Run: java LearnJava.FirstProgram

Output: Welcome to package

The -d is a switch that tells the compiler where to put the class file i.e. it represents destination. The . represents the current folder.

import keyword

import keyword is used to import built-in and user-defined packages into your java source file so that your class can refer to a class that is in another package by directly using its name.

There are 3 different ways to refer to class that is present in different package

Using fully qualified name(But this is not a good practice.)

If you use fully qualified name then only declared class of this package will be accessible. Now there is no need to import. But you need to use fully qualified name every time when you are accessing the class or interface.

It is generally used when two packages have same class name e.g. java.util and java.sql packages contain Date class.

Example :

//save by A.java

package pack;

public class A{

public void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}

}

//save by B.java

package mypack;

class B{

public static void main(String args[]){

pack.A obj = new pack.A();//using fully qualified name

obj.msg();

}

}

Output:

Hello

import the only class you want to use(Using packagename.classname)

If you import package.classname then only declared class of this package will be accessible.

Example :

//save by A.java

package pack;

public class A{

public void msg(){

System.out.println("Hello");

}

}

//save by B.java

package mypack;

import pack.A;

class B{

public static void main(String args[]){

A obj = new A();

obj.msg();

}

}

Output:

Hello

import all the classes from the particular package(Using packagename.*)

If you use package.* then all the classes and interfaces of this package will be accessible but not subpackages.

The import keyword is used to make the classes and interface of another package accessible to the current package.

Example :

//save by First.java

package LearnJava;

public class First{

public void msg(){System.out.println("Hello");}

}

//save by Second.java

package Java;

import Learnjava.*;

class Second{

public static void main(String args[]){

First obj = new First();

obj.msg();

}

}

Output:

Hello

Points to remember

When a package name is not specified , a class is defined into the default package (the current working directory) and the package itself is given no name. Hence you were able to execute assignments earlier.

While creating a package, care should be taken that the statement for creating package must be written before any other import statements.

// not allowed

import package p1.*;

package p3;

//correct syntax

package p3;

import package p1.*;
