type declaration and subpackage of the same name are permited

Name: ngC57085 Date: 04/26/97



Java compiler (JDK1.1.2) permits a package to contain a type declaration and a subpackage of the same name.

JLS (7.1) says:

"
A package may not contain a type declaration and a subpackage of the same name,
or a compile-time error results.
"

Next test is successfully compiled by jdk instead of error message.
