More About Packages

• To put your class in a package, you must:
• Save the class in the appropriate directory structure.
• The first non-commented line of the class must be package packagename;
• Forte' makes it easy.  You can use New-Package, and it will pretty much do the dirty work for you.
• Make sure your packages are in the classpath when used.  Or, if running from the command line, you can specify the classpath with the -classpath option.
• Access modifiers:
• public: can be used by any class.
• private: can only be used by the current class.
• nothing: defaults to friendly, which means that only classes in the current package can access it.
