package declaration

[sam mitwa]

i want to make one package of my own classes that i have made
i know that classes of package are in one directory
and i saw syntax package name (that u want to give )
i know this much ;

now i m making one new class
and than i want to import all the classes that i have made earlier
by using package name ; one answer might be put all the classes tht u have made in the same directory
than how can i import classes by package name
;
my question is how can i make package of classes
suppose i have 5 classes
a
b
c
d
e
how can i put these classes in one package whose name is p
and
now im making one new class z and now i want to use those classes(a,b,c,d,e)
that i have put in package p how can i import ?

i think that u can understand what i want to say ;
i have already declared that how much knowledge i have about package
im totally confused whether anyone can understand what i want to say :

if anyone can understand what i want to ask
please reply

import p.*;

//or import each one:

import p.a;
import p.b;
import p.c;
import p.d;
import p.e;

public class Z {
}

Hi,
you should define the package statement in a first executable line of the class file. If u have all classes in a single file then u should declared like below
package p;
class a{}
class b{}
.....
class f{}
and all the class are should be placed in a folder p. or if u have individual files od each of class u should place the package p statement in every class file.

If u want to import all the class in your file then u include following any one of the lines.
import p.*; //It import all the class availabe in package p;
(or)
import p.a;
import p.b;
...
import p.e; // It import specified package class only.
class z {} // Declaration of class Z

I hope it will be useful to u. If u have any more dubts reply me.
