The package the class is in has to match the directory path from the top of the source tree. Being in the default package means the file would be in the top source directory of the project (because a default package has no name). If you look at the entire filename for Contact.java you'll you'll see it's down a directory path like you would expect from being in a package. You can figure out the package name from the path shown by replacing the /'s with .'s and put in the appropriate package statement at top.
