title: Difference between Package and Directory in Java
body: <p>In a  <em>Java Project</em>, does keeping all the <em>.java</em> files in the same folder mean they are in the same package?</p>
  
  <p>What is the difference in <strong>making a Package for our project compared to keeping all the project files in one folder?</strong></p>
