Java organize subclasses into different folders

My problem is with Eclipse, something that seems super simple but I just don't know enough to figure out how to do it. I want to put the subclasses of the objects I have created into folders in the default package to organize them so I don't have dozens of objects jumbled together, but when I create a new folder in the Package Explorer and drop them in, they no longer connect to the superclasses. How do I connect them?

Create packages to organize your classes not folders.

Folders are created to store app resources, e.g., images and icons.

Right-click on your project's src node in the Package Explorer, then New -> Other -> Package.

Having created your packages and moved your classes under them, you should then organize the imports.

You do this by opening each class file and hitting the key combination Ctrl+Shift+O.
