What is package?
- Package objects contain version information about the implementation and specification of a Java package.
- This versioning information is retrieved and made available by the Class Loader instance that loaded the class(es).
- Typically, it is stored in the manifest that is distributed with the classes.
- The set of classes that make up the package may implement a particular specification and if so the specification title, version number, and vendor strings identify that specification.
