but, Will I able to access default package in my util package.. ? is this correct.No, you won't be able to use classes out of the "default" package.
Because, AFAIK, if you use a classname that you haven't imported, Java automatically attempts to locate this class in the same package as the current class. It does not check the "default" package (unless that is also the current package), and since the "default" package does not have a package name, you can't import those classes either.
