What are nested/unnested packages in Scala 2.8?
- by retronym
In Scala 2.7, I could write:
package com.acme.bar
class Bar
.
package com.acme.foo
class Foo {
new bar.Bar
}
This doesn't compile in Scala 2.8 -- however this does:
package com.acme
package bar
class Bar
.
package com.acme
package foo
class Foo {
new bar.Bar
}
What was the motivation for this?
What is the precise meaning, with regards to scope and visibility?
When should I use one form over the other?
