It sounds to me like your directory structure does not align with your 
package structure.

If project/structures is a source directory, and you want something to go in 
a package inside that, it would be in a subdirectory: for instance, package 
pa would be /project/structures/pa, and the code would start with "package 
pa;".

To put something in a package named "structures", you'd want /project to be 
the source entry.  (Which is generally a bad idea since it means you've got 
source code at the root of your project.)
