Package Imports

If you want to import all of the classes in a package all at once you can use a "package import."

To do this write import followed by the name of the package and .*.

package village;

public class Villager {}

package village;

public class Dog {}

package dungeon;

// Imports Village, Dog, and any other classes
// in the "village" package.
import village.*;

class Dwarf {
    Villager meet() {
        return new Villager();
    }

    Dog pet() {
        return new Dog();
    }
}

This has the upside of being only one line of code. This also has the downside of being only one line of code - it is harder to figure out from what package any particular class might be coming from.
