What's the syntax to import a class in a default package in Java? [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to import a class in Java which is in the default package? If so, what is the syntax? For example, if you have

package foo.bar;  public class SomeClass {     // ... 

in one file, you can write

package baz.fonz;  import foo.bar.SomeClass;  public class AnotherClass {     SomeClass sc = new SomeClass();     // ... 

in another file. But what if SomeClass.java does not contain a package declaration? How would you refer to SomeClass in AnotherClass?

Answer 1

You can't import classes from the default package. You should avoid using the default package except for very small example programs.

From the Java language specification:

It is a compile time error to import a type from the unnamed package.
