java - Classes cannot be accessed from outside package

Question

I have two packages. The class I want to import from the first package is declared as PUBLIC. Despite, when I test a file from the second package it shows me compilation errors like this:

PUBLICclass is not public in mypackage; cannot be accessed from outside package

I tried to add a public constructor to the class from the first package, but it doesn't make any difference.

Do you have any ideas? I use Netbeans 7.

The class from the first package looks like below:

public class PUBLICclass extends AbstractClass { public PUBLICclass() { } }

Answer 1

Let me guess

Your initial declaration of class PUBLICClass was not public, then you made it Public, can you try to clean and rebuild your project ?
