To be precise, no, the Java specs leave this to the implementation: JLS - 7.2. host support for packages Each host determines how packages, compilation units, and subpackages are created and stored, and which compilation units are observable (ยง7.3) in a particular compilation. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/packages.html#7.2 JVM Spec - 5.3 Creation and Loading Typically, a class or interface will be represented using a file in a hierarchical file system. The name of the class or interface will usually be encoded in the pathname of the file. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/ConstantPool.doc.html#72007 Respectfully submitted, -- -- Johannes Waldmann -- Tel/Fax (0341) 3076 6479/80 -- ---- http://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/~waldmann/ ------- _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
