Description buhl CLA 2003-10-20 08:50:58 EDT 
I have the following situation in build M4 (it works fine in M3):
 
I have created two Java Projects test1 and test2. Each project has a src-folder 
for the classes and bin-folders for the class files. In test1 I have a class 
Test1.java in the 'default package' and in test2 I have a class Test2.java in 
the package 'test'. 

The project test2 has test1 on its build path. When I try to create an instance 
of Test1 from Test2's constructor it cannot resolve Test1 and I cannot import 
Test1 from Test2.

(If Test2 is also in the 'default package' it works just fine.)

Sounds expected to me.  I don't think the default package can be exported across
projects.  Moving to JDT for further comment.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-10-20 13:33:50 EDT 
I guess your compiler compliance level is 1.4. See
Preferences>Java>Compiler>Compliance and Class files.

This is normal. It is not possible anymore to import default package inside a
package using javac 1.4. This was a bug that has been fixed in 1.4.

If you set your compiler compliance level to 1.3, it will work. It is actually
much better to put your class in a package than leaving it in the default package.

Indeed this is 1.4 spec'ed behavior.
