Hello world! What is the purpose of a package? I understand that a project holds packages. If you want to write two different classes that are completely unrelated to each other, would you make a new package, or project, or both??

Please avoid posting to long old threads of a different topic. I've moved your post to its own thread.
To address your question, what has your research told you? Have you looked at the oracle tutorials, the API docs for examples, or the wikipedia package article
It really depends. Your question is too broad and ambiguous to give a specific answer, at least one appropriate for this medium. I suspect you're essentially just wondering in general what classes, packages, and projects are all good for, how they relate and should be organized, etc. Much of the answer to that depends on personal preference gained from experience. Give it some time.
Hi,
How do I look to see if people have replied to my posts (besides email)? How do I find the thread you put my post in?
thanks
