How to tell the java compiler to allow public as package name?

Question

In GWT code I use a java sub package called public that contains html/css/etc.. files.

I notice that the java compiler output doesn't contain this sub package and its content.

I want this because of testing purposes. Any idea how to tell the java compiler to include this sub package and its content?

Answer 1

You can't... It's a reserved word....

Sorry.

Yep, "public" is a reserved word and you can't use it. You can probably use "Public", though. (Not that I recommend it.)
