importing of non-existed subpackge is permited

Name: ngC57085 Date: 04/26/97



Java compiler (JDK1.1.2) permits to use a type-import-on-demand declaration of non-existed package. This occurs in the case when imported package is a subpackage of some package and this package contain a type declaration and a subpackage of the same name.

JLS (7.5.2) says:

"
It is a compile-time error for a type-import-on-demand declaration to name
a package that is not accessible (6.6), as determined by the host system (7.2).
"

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