Why am i getting it?

Answer 1

You cannot import a package . You need to import classes inside that package.

In your import statement, replace your imports with: -

com.sixpanview.getcoordinate.*;
com.sixpanview.fileReader.*;
com.sixpanview.cookieInfo.*;

I assume there is not other sub-package under those packages.

.* will import all the classes under that package. Ideally, you should not do that. Rather import a specific class from those package if you know what are they.

Like: -

import java.util.List; 

is better than: -

import java.util.*;

PS : - Please don't use bold case in your content, unless it is really really important to be highlighted. Its difficult to read. And also post your code snippet in future, while posting exceptions.
