Line 1: A '''Java package''' is a mechanism for organizing [[Java (programming language)\|Java]] [[class (computer science)\|classes]] into [[namespace (computer science)\|namespaces]]. Java [[source file]]s ~~belonging to the same category or providing similar functionality~~ can include a '''<code>package</code>''' statement at the top of the file to designate the package for the classes the source file defines. Java packages can be stored in compressed files called [[JAR file]]s. * A package provides a unique namespace for the types it contains.
