I have recently started coding on Eclipse for Minecraft Bukkit plugins, and I have been going fine with it. Recently, I've been trying to make a child package into a package, but if I try New > Package, then it makes a package separate to my main package. I am a beginner, so please make instructions simple. Is there anything else I can try?
You can add a new package in Eclipse by right-clicking on your project and selecting New > Package. Note that a package doesn't really exist until you create some class or interface in that package. The more logical way to do this is to simply define a package when creating a new class.
To create a class inside a package, declare the package name in the first statement in your program. A class can have only one package declaration. Now lets see how to use this package in another program. To use the class Calculator, I have imported the package letmecalculate .
Including a Class in Java PackageTo create a class inside a package, you should declare the package name as the first statement of your program. Then include the class as part of the package. But, remember that, a class can have only one package declaration.
Normally, if you separate each package component with dots (.
), it should create intermediate entries.
Try create a new package with the following test case:
com.foobar.example
com.foobar.test
com.foobar.example.a
And Eclipse should do the tricks.
If however, you are stuck with finding those empty packages, perhaps you should simply play with the Package Explorer options: the Java filters is especially useful, and there might be an option enabled by default which would filter/hide empty package.
You also have Package presentations.
