My requirement is ,

Assume I have three Packages A, B, C and these three are in single Jar file.

I want to Make the Package C visible to Outside but Only C Should access the Packages A,B.

No one should be allowed to access the Packages A,B but C.

Waiting for reply..............

Java doesn't work that way, sorry. A class is either public (visible outside its package) or not.

The only thing even slightly close (though not really) could be achieved using the protected modifier. If all classes in A and B are protected, and classes in C extend those.... But then again, nothing would stop classes from packaged D from extending classes from packages A and B as well.

well can packages be defined as public?

cause if so..

just have package c public..

and packages a and b extend package c

if you can do that...

but if the classes variables and methods inside package c are private,

then only those methods can access right?..

But, I feel as if im getting packages and classes confused..

if someone could...help me out here.

We can't specify access modifiers with package declaration.



and packages a and b extend package c



Also a package can't extend another package. Only a Class or Interface can do that
