Import Java Class that is further up in folder

Question

I have the following structure for my java project:

-src
    -(default package)
       -Calculator.java
       -AnotherClass.java
       -EvenOneMoreClass.java
       -ui
         -MainWindow.java

I know I can include main window in Calculator with import ui.MainWindow. How do I import AnotherClass.java into MainWindow.java?

Or, is my structure just wrong for how I want this to work?

Once you hover over the class reference in MainWindow, does it not give the option to import the class? — Tomaltach, Dec 21 '15 at 21:48
You really shouldn't use the default package and should put those classes inside a package, even if it's "main" or "misc" or "utils" or something. Then your import would be like: import main.AnotherClass; — Brian Pipa, Dec 21 '15 at 21:55

You can't do this. See this existing SO answer.

Instead, put your classes into appropriate packages and you will have no problem.
