Java secondary not public Class usage produces error "Type is not Visible" even if accessed methods are public in Main class

Question

I have a Main.java file:

public class Main{

  private EntityDrawer entityDrawer;

  public void setEntityDrawer(EntityDrawer entityDrawer) {
    this.entityDrawer = entityDrawer;
  }

  public EntityDrawer getEntityDrawer() {
    return entityDrawer;
  }
}

class EntityDrawer {

  private Empleado empleado;  

  public Empleado getEmpleado() {
    return empleado;
  }

  public void setEmpleado(Empleado empleado) {
    this.empleado = empleado;
  }

}

If I try to access from another file, it works if I only try to access the entityManager:

Main main = new Main();
main.getEntityDrawer(); // NO PROBLEM!

But if I try to access one of the attributes (even if public) from entityManager, it does not work:

Main main = new Main();
main.getEntityDrawer().getEmpleado(); // Gives error "The type EntityDrawer is not visible"

I cannot understand why is happening, could someone give me some insight into this issue?...

Answer 1

I assume you are trying to use a package local class EntityDrawer in another package, which you cannot do.

Try making the class public

Answer 2

Make the class public or move the calling class to same package.
