package
statements in my tests?Yes… but you probably don't want to. The harness searches for class
files in a class directory with components which are parallel to the source
directory. It will be unable to locate packaged class files when the test is
invoked via reflection. Use of the package
statement is not
recommended unless the test is intended to test package
statements.
Tests which test the package mechanism may use package statements; however, it will be the responsibility of the test writer to properly execute the compiled class as necessary.
