Since your classpath is likely not set... trying compiling as so...

D:\ExamPractice>javac com\foo\Another.java

is there any need to for the import statement when both the classes are in the same package?
wont compiler give error. I use eclipse and it just dont let me write this kind of import statement.

yes in the same package we don't need import statement.
