Tahmid Mobashir presented on Java packages. Packages are collections of related classes and interfaces that provide namespace management and access protection. Packages can contain subpackages and types declared in compilation units. Packages make classes easier to find, avoid naming conflicts, and control access. To create a package, a package statement with the package name is included at the top of source files containing the classes and interfaces for that package. The files are then compiled using the javac command with the -d option to place the class files in a folder matching the package name.
