Importing classes in upper directory.

[PrinceSendai]

MainClass.java
graphics/Rectangle.java

public class MainClass{


[INDENT]public String name;[/INDENT]

}

package graphics;

import MainClass;    //THIS IS THE ISSUE. 'IMPORT' REQUIRES A '.'


public class Rectangle{

....
[INDENT]MainClass c = new MainClass();
c.name = x;[/INDENT]

....

}

I am trying to use main class within a package. I want to import MainClass, but MainClass is not in a particular package. It is simply in the upper directory. How do I import it?

Also please let me know if this is not how I should be using the packages. Maybe I should place the MainClass in an actual package of its own?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, you should.
