Can any one explain me
Why this peace of code compile Properly
import java.lang.*;
class String

}
and this doesn't
import java.lang.String;
class String
{

}

Explicitly importing a class forces the current compilation process to treat that class as already defined. Importing a whole package just allows the compilation process to "see" those classes, if required.
So trying to redefine String will be an error.
