To get the package name of a class we can use the getClass().getPackage()
method of the inspected object.
package org.kodejava.lang;
import java.util.Date;
public class GetPackageName {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create an instance of Date class, and then obtain the class package
// name.
Date date = new Date();
Package pack = date.getClass().getPackage();
String packageName = pack.getName();
System.out.println("Package Name = " + packageName);
// Create an instance of our class and again get its package name
GetPackageName object = new GetPackageName();
packageName = object.getClass().getPackage().getName();
System.out.println("Package Name = " + packageName);
}
}
Our code printed the following output:
Package Name = java.util
Package Name = org.kodejava.lang
