This is an example of how to get the package name of a class. Getting the package name of a class implies that you should:

• Create a new object of the class.
• UsegetClass() API method ofObject for the class to get the runtime class of this object. The returned Class object is the object that is locked by static synchronized methods of the represented class.
• CallgetPackage() API method ofClass to get thePackage for this class. The class loader of this class is used to find the package. If the class was loaded by the bootstrap class loader the set of packages loaded from CLASSPATH is searched to find the package of the class.
• UsegetName() API method ofPackage to get the name of the package.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:  

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;public class GetPackageName {public static void main(String[] args) {  // Create new object of this classGetPackageName o = new GetPackageName();  // Get package name and print itPackage pack = o.getClass().getPackage();String packageName = pack.getName();System.out.println("Package = " + packageName);}}

Output:

Package = com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core
