Thanks, Richard. Working on the article:

Learning on a steep curve.

What does it mean when he states that

  class Color_scheme
    ...
    /*package*/ synchronized change_color_scheme(
             Color foreground, Color background )
   
  Note that this is one of the few cases in which you must use 
  package access rather than an inner class.

Where is the package defined? (So, what is a package, anyhow..)
