Accessing class in the default package from outside the jar

I created a public class under default package and then I exported this class as jar file. I then created a new project and added the jar file from my directory as a library in my new project.

My problem is, why the class in the jar file cannot be accessed outside the default package ? As shown in the screen shot there is an error in my test.java class under test package when I try to access the class from the jar file.

Any solution to this problem?

Thank you

You can not access classes in the default package from a named package.

Prior to J2SE 1.4 you could import classes from the default package using a syntax like this:

import Unfinished;

This is no longer allowed

See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6975015
