Java classes link?

How are the different java classes linked? I mean I know that the methods are public, but like. When I learnt C++ I would have to include them in my headers etc. No such thing is required here?

The basic unit to group classes in Java is called package. A package contains a set of related types (classes, enums, interfaces, etc), you can create your own packages or use the ones provided in the JDK. Suppose you want to include a class from another package you created, in your code write the line

import myPackage;

This allows your current code to recognize the types in myPackage.
