Is it possible to write a method that is available at package-level? Assume <code>foo</code> is a package: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>long version = foo.getPackageVersion(); </code></pre>

No, it is not. Methods can only be defined on classes. Nowhere else. A package is not physical, it can't serve as a container for byte code. Packages are nothing but namespaces for classes, enums and interfaces.
