subpackage and class with the same name

Name: ngC57085 Date: 02/11/98



Java compilers jdk1.2beta3E and jdk1.2beta3F permit subpackage and class
with the same name.
Next two files are compiled without error message.

Hook 5(hook5): test




Name: ngC57085 Date: 02/24/98


New addition to bug description.
Consider two compilation units which may be compiled in arbitrary order such
as the followings:

------------------- pkgs00604 -----------------------
package javasoft.sqe.tests.lang.pkgs006.pkgs00604;

import java.io.PrintStream;
import javasoft.sqe.tests.lang.pkgs006.pkgs00604.pkgs00604a.*;

public class pkgs00604 {
  public static void main(String argv[]) {
     System.exit(run(argv, System.out) + 95/*STATUS_TEMP*/);
  }
  public static int run(String argv[],PrintStream out) {
     if ( pkgs00604a.sum (1,2) != 3 ) {
        out.println("failed");
        return 2/*STATUS_FAILED*/;
     }
     return 0/*STATUS_PASSED*/;
  }
}
class pkgs00604a {
  public static int sum(int p1, int p2) {
     return p1+p2;
  }
}
-----------------------------------------------------
------------------- pkgs00604c ----------------------
package javasoft.sqe.tests.lang.pkgs006.pkgs00604.pkgs00604a;
 
public class pkgs00604c {
  public static int plus(int p1, int p2) {
     return p1+p2;
  }
}
-----------------------------------------------------
4 cases may be used to compile this test.
Just one case is completed by error message. Three other comilations
are successful, althrough a package may not contain a type declaration
and a subpackage of the same name.

     // 1 case
> javac -d . pkgs00604c.java
> javac -d . pkgs00604.java
pkgs00604.java:7: Ambiguous name: javasoft.sqe.tests.lang.pkgs006.pkgs00604.pkgs00604a is both a class and a package.

jdk1.2beta3 and jdk1.1.6 show the same results.
Could you please to reevaluate this bug.
