How to change "default package" to a real pakage name [message #304172]

I've been doing development on a package for awhile. It started out as just
something to fool with so I left it without a package name when I created
it. (It's package name is "default package)". Now I find it's actually
useful as a component and would like to give it a "real" package name like
"com.kledarastech.ETLInfileParser, so I can import it into other programs.
But so far I haven't figured out how this is done.

I suspect it's pretty easy, but I don't want to experiment on it and find
I've messed it up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lenny Wintfeld

after you've created the package you want, you should just be able to
select and move all of the classes to that package ...

Just remember, you can't import from the default package into a real
package.
