What s the syntax to import a class in a default package in Java

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

It is not a compilation error at all  You can import a default package to a default package class only   If you do so for another package  then it shall be a compilation error

That s not possible    The alternative is using reflection     Class forName  SomeClass   getMethod  someMethod   invoke null

The only way to access classes in the default package is from another class in the default package  In that case  don t bother to import it  just refer to it directly

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

As others have said  this is bad practice  but if you don t have a choice because you need to integrate with a third-party library that uses the default package  then you could create your own class in the default package and access the other class that way  Classes in the default package basically share a single namespace  so you can access the other class even if it resides in a separate JAR file  Just make sure the JAR file is in the classpath   This trick doesn t work if your class is not in the default package
