Difference between namespace in C# and package in Java

Question

What is the difference (in terms of use) between namespaces in C# and packages in Java?

Answer 1

There are a few details that differ.

In Java the directory structure should match the package structure. No such restriction in C#.

In C# you can have multiple namespaces in one file. In Java one file belongs to one package (see previous).

Java has default/package accessibility. C# internal accessibility goes in assemblies.

If you use VS and Eclipse and let them structure the project, then you will not feel the differences much.
