FYI, this isn't really true.  In Java the default access protection
(the protection you get if you don't specify private/protected/public)
is "package" scope.  A field (or method) with this access protection
can be referenced by other classes in that package.  So a package
really is more than a collection of classes: it has behavior (however
small) of its own.
