java中类可以被私有吗,.java文件中的包私有类 - 为什么它可以访问？

Consider the following code, where the HelloWorld class has default or package-private access:

class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string.

}

}

And assume that the above code is saved in a file called HelloWorld.java. So my question is: since HelloWorld is now a package-private class, how does it work? The main() method should not be visible or accessible across packages, am I right?

It makes perfect sense to me if the class HelloWorld is declared public. Confusion is only when it is declared with the default package-private access.

Note that this chapter says nothing about visibility checks with regards to the class. It only specifies that the main method must be public.

This means that there simply is no check for visibility on the class level (which kind-of makes sense as there is no context yet against which to check the visibility: in which "package" is the "caller"?).
