Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Package with classes in multiple modules

Reports non-empty packages that are present in several modules. When packages are contained in several modules, it is very easy to create a class with the same name in two modules. A module which depends on these modules will see a conflict if it tries to use such a class. The Java Platform Module System disallows packages contained in more than one module (also called split packages)
