Neither of those are packages. "javax.servlet.http" is a package name, and all classes inside of it make up a package.

"Servlet" is an interface, and "HttpServlet" is a class that implements that interface with the help of the GenericServlet class, which it extends.

The javadocs of HttpServlet and GenericServlet explicitly mention the differences between the two classes, and they also show a bunch of methods in HttpServlet that are not in GenericServlet (specifically, all the HTTP-related stuff).

The javadocs are generally a good place to start if you want to learn about a particular class.
