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

In C++/C#, namespaces are just used for partitioning names to avoid collisions by accidentally using the same name for a variable in different places.

In Java, packages are far more than just that - packages are used for modules, the naming aspect is just a part of it.
