The section "7.5.1 Single-Type-Import Declaration" of The Java Language
Specification contains the following:

"If the named type is not in the current package, then it must be
accessible (6.6)-in an accessible package and declared public (8.1.2,
9.1.2)-or a compile-time error occurs. "


Java compiler (JDK1.1) produces warning message instead of error message.
