I'm writing Junit test method for a project using Eclipse. There are two packages with the same name as shown below. Class_1 only exists in one of them. When I import this class in another class that is located in another project, the compiler says the class cannot be found.

Project 1 src/test/java: au.com.test.common.package1.Class_1

src/main/java: au.com.test.common.package1. there is no Class_1 in this package1

Project 2 src/test/java: au.com.test.client.packagename.Class_2 imports au.com.test.common.package1.Class_1;

When I maven build the test by />mvn test, the compiler generates error saying Cannot find the symbol. How do I fix this issue please? Many thanks.

Please add the relevant source code as well. – Tim Biegeleisen Dec 26 '21 at 05:57

`compiler-construction` is not an appropriate tag for this question. – Hanchen Jiang Dec 26 '21 at 05:57
Hi Tim Biegeleisen, it's just an access or dependency issue and I don't think the source codes are relevant here. Thanks Rodge – Rodge Lou Dec 26 '21 at 08:05
What is the class access specifier?? – Bimal Dec 26 '21 at 13:14

test sources are not exported to other projects. Everything in `src/test` is **not** accessible in other projects. The point of test sources is to test the project, not to be used as a dependency. – dan1st Dec 26 '21 at 13:47
