Create Object of class with default access modifier lying in another package

Question

What I have is two package emp and p5. I have one file consisting two classes one of them is public and another is default.

package emp;

public class Employee{

 public void display(){
     System.out.println("from DebarredEmply");
 }

}

class DebarredEmployee{

   public void display(){
        System.out.println("from DebarredEmply");
    } 

}

what I want to is create the object of DebarredEmployee in class lying in another package.

package p5;
import emp.DebarredEmployee;

class Test{
   public static void main(String[] args){
      DebarredEmployee dEmp = new DebarredEmployee();
      dEmp.display();
   }

}

I have tried above approach but it is giving me the error

error: DebarredEmployee is not public in emp; cannot be accessed from outside package

So how can I create the object of the class I want. ps:
I know defaults are not accessible outside the package and it will work if I make the class public and move it another file, I want to do that without making new file and keeping the access modifier as default one. –sorry for some sloppy naming conventions.

default member will not be accessible to different package. that's why you get this cause. — Vishal Gajera, Mar 18 '16 at 15:33

The definition of default (or "package private") access is that it is not accessible outside its package. So if you need something to be accessible outside its package, don't make it package private. — khelwood, Mar 18 '16 at 15:33
Make it a static inner class of Employee? Access it like `Employee.DebarredEmployee`? — OneCricketeer, Mar 18 '16 at 15:36

You can put your DebarredEmployee class into Employee class as a static inner class. Like this:

public class Employee{

    public void display(){
        System.out.println("from DebarredEmply");
    }

    public static class DebarredEmployee{

        public void display(){
            System.out.println("from DebarredEmply");
        }

    }
}

And in your p5 package, you can use import static:

import static emp.Employee.DebarredEmployee;

class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        DebarredEmployee dEmp = new DebarredEmployee();
        dEmp.display();
    }
}

Move the DebarredEmployee dEmp; variable decoration outside the main. If you don't want dEmp to be static you can make a new method that uses the dEmp and have the main method call it. Edit: This works because public variables can't be created inside methods
