Package Access (Protected Modifier) in Java
<p>Suppose I have a package:</p>

<pre><code>package com.g00gle.car
</code></pre>

<p>and </p>

<pre><code>package com.g00gle.car.stereo
</code></pre>

<p>Is it possible to have a class in com.g00gle.car to access a class member in com.google.car.stereo? (Assuming that class member is labeled protected).</p>

<p>The answer is no... (by default) but is there a way to circumvent that? I have an application that I want to cut into distinct chunks... and to do that, I create extensions of the package. What's discouraging is the loss of package private access.</p>
