Answer 1

As @Sanjeevan is using Eclipse, here is a way to nest packages in Eclipse;

1. Right click the root folder of your desired "nested" package branch,
2. Select New > Folder ,
3. Type a name for the package and click finish (in this example, the name of the first folder is parent ),
4. Right click the parent folder.
5. Select New > Folder ,
6. Type a name for the package and click finish (in this example, the name of the second folder is child ),
7. You will see a folder named parent.child . This is your nested "package". When you create a new class under this folder, either package parent.child; will be added automatically to the top of your classes, or you must add them manually.

The solution was to type the sub packages with a '.' So if we have a main package say 'com.main' and we wanted to make sure we wanted to create a sub package for that we should write it as 'com.main.sub'

and to make sure we have it visually follow that, you can read this. https://stackoverflow.com/a/25378808/20406462

The layout of the packages on disk is standardized, it's not something you can change, and it's the same whether you're using javac , IDEA, Eclipse, or anything else. They are always nested. What you're looking for is how to change they way they're shown to you.
