7.2 Host Support for Packages

Each Java host determines how packages, compilation units, and subpackages are created and stored; which top-level package names are in scope in a particular compilation; and which packages are accessible.

The packages may be stored in a local file system in simple implementations of Java. Other implementations may use a distributed file system or some form of database to store Java source and/or binary code.
