package access modifier? (original) (raw)

Back at the last EG meeting, we discussed how in theory we would prefer to have a full set of accessibilities for interface methods, and that would require this little bit of syntax. The lack of this little bit of syntax is also a persistent annoyance to some people. However, since it is looking like even private methods may not make the train, this is certainly a dispensible feature for 8, and not doing it now does not foreclose on doing it later.

I admit I haven't been able to keep up lately but I don't recall seeing any discussion of actually adding "package" as an access modifier, yet there it is.

David I have seen that too, and I don't understand why it was introduced, I remember we have discussed to add it to have a way to create package method in interface but since we rule out that. Rémi
