Hello,
I've been trying to learn Java with tutorial from youtube, but since i cant post link i can only sane that it is name "Java Video Tutorial" from user "derekbanas", but the problem I have with it is that when he started recording, he already had his eclipse set up and started project with file already in it.

Now everytime I try to do what he does, I get the error the declared package "" does not match the expected package.

This is what I do:

Start Eclipse, new workspace in Eclipse folder,E:\Eclipse\workspace File>New>Java Project enter>use default JRE (currently jre7),name "Test" press Finish

Expand Test>right click on src>New package>name package defaultPackage in source folder Test/src>Finish

Right click defaultPackage>New File>HelloWorld.java

Enter code>Ctrls+s to save BAM, declared package does not match the expected package.

What Am I doing wrong that I am getting the error?

Thanks for your time

SOLVED: Instead of creating new package, I just clicked on SRC and created new file, naming it HelloWorld and it created the default package by itself.

The package statement at the top of your HelloWorld.java file has to
match the directory hierarchy from the src location on. You substitue /
for . in the package name to get the hierarchy.

A package com.test.myapp has to be in the directory hierarchy
com/test/myapp/
