Hai Anil,

Package is a group of Classes. A package may contain other packages, so that
developers can construct arbitrarily complex
groupings and sub groupings.

Subsystem is a package that completly encapsulates its emplementation. This
means that a client can only access the publicly
available interfaces from that subsystem without knowing the interior
workings.

The connection?, for me as a developer, I refer to the package terminology
whenever I m doing the implementation (developing classes and implementing
functions). I only refer to the subsystem terminology during analysis and
design.

The above definition are taken from Enterprise Java with UML book published by
John Wiley & Sons, inc.
ISBN : 0-471-38680-4
Please refer to page 219 : Definition of Subsystem
Please refer to page 214 : Definition of Packages

Regards
Hatta
