How to access a package in Java code?

To access a package in Java code, you need to use an import statement to import the package, and then you can use the classes and methods within that package.

Below are the steps to access a package:

  1. Import statement is used at the beginning of Java source code files to include the package that needs to be accessed. The syntax is as follows:
import packageName.*;

This statement will import all classes and methods in the packageName package. If you only want to import specific classes in the package, you can use the following syntax:

import packageName.className;
  1. Directly use the classes and methods in the package in the code. The syntax is as follows:
packageName.className.methodName();

This allows you to access the methodName method in the className class in the packageName package.

It is important to note that if the package you want to access is not in the current working directory, you need to add the path of the package to the classpath. This can be done by setting the CLASSPATH environment variable or using the -ea command line option.
