Description Brian Miller CLA 2005-08-26 12:58:32 EDT 
Because the default package can't be imported, a programmer may want to rename 
it.  But Eclipse doesn't allow such.
Comment 1 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-08-29 05:38:00 EDT 
You can't rename the default package since it is implicitly given by the package
fragment root (after a rename it would still exist which would look strange to
me). You can move the files from the default package to the other package.

Please also note that the default package is discouraged/deprecated since Java 1.4.
