package-private is not the same as private, actually package-private
is the default (no modifier). As the name implies package-private
designates private to a package. As a package is just a hierarchy
tree, you can deduce from it that if a child is in the same package
than its parent, and if nothing else is defined as private, then the
child inherits from the package-private members of its parent.
See the Sun site where it is explained:
