Place the BlogPost.java file in the proper package by using the package keyword.

Let's create some code for the Example company. They own the domain example.com. Place the BlogPost.java file in the proper package by using the package keyword.

Having trouble with this, not sure were to start from?

com/example/BlogPost.java
Display.java 
public class Display {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Your code here...

  }
}

Hi Jarvis,

As explained by Clayton, you need to have an package declaration in your BlogPost.java file with the domain name or the path where the common files related to your project are stored or placed (reversed order). Most of the companies use the reversed internet domain name in their package names like com.company.packageName

For example:

If my company's domain name is mytreehouse.sg.com, then I will use the package declaration as follows:

package com.sg.mytreehouse

So with respect to your question, the company has domain example.com. So you can use the package declaration as

package com.example

Thanks,

Priyesh T

Hey Jarvis, In the file com/example/BlogPost.java you are going to place the reversed domain (i.e. com.example) on the first line, preceded by the keyword package; if you re-watch the video, Greg explains this step at about 1:54.

Hope this helps,

Clayton
