Java and Database Connectivity

Using packages

• Packages are bundles of Java functionality
• The core of Java is the package java.lang
• Other packages with names starting java. are parts of the standard Java distribution
• Third party organisations which create packages should use the elements of their domain name in reverse order as prefix
  • We're 'weft.co.uk' so our package names start uk.co.weft.
  • So the clock components are in uk.co.weft.clock
• This way you can mix components from anywhere without risk of name clashes
