I failed. :) Sorry!
I don't know if I just misinterpreted what you were saying when you set the challenge but I started out by creating the directory structure in Workspaces for java.util.Date` like we did for Treet.
I didn't realise we were continuing with the Treet example but I'm really pleased we're spending this time covering some of the things we learned in Java Objects because while I was able to make the Hangman game I didn't quite understand everything that was going on such as Packages and Constructor functions.
But doing this review helps refresh things for us
Is there a reason why we don't need to create new folders for util.date like we did for com.treehouse? Is it because Date is a predefined package in Java? Thanks :)

Treehouse TeacherYep! java.util.Date lives in the system package of java.util There is a jar file that is included your class path. The jar file is like a zip file, and it has folders, so it has one for java and then a subfolder for util, and in there is the code for the Date class.
That make sense?

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsI think for now I'll just take that it's a default/system package for Java so we don't have to prepare it in our projects. :)
It makes sense, kind of. Much of what I'm doing so far is still a blur but hopefully it won't be long before it clicks, as you say.
I have a good feeling about Java
