It is not possible to import things from the default package. Don't use
the default package. It's a useless thing.

Hi Gudsy!
You can drag a Java file between packages in the Project Explorer view.
Eclipse will insert the correct package statement for you.
Happy programming.

Well it's not useless, just very limited :-) .

If you are doing a "one-off I just need to run this little thing right
now and I'm not talking to anybody else and they aren't talking to me
and I'm not putting it into a jar to run later in a fancy application"
then the default package is OK. Notice all of the qualifiers in the
above statement. :-)
