The statement that is used to create a package requires a keyword called “package” and the following syntax.

Listing 1

package packagename;

The package definition must be the first statement of the java program file. Suppose we have a program file named “Firstapplication.java” and we want to put it inside a package called Example, then the coding that would go inside is:

Listing 2

package Example;
public class Firstapplication 
{
      public static void main(String a[ ]) 
      {
            System.out.println("This is my first application");
      }
}

If package statement is not specified, all the classes are stored in a default unnamed package.
