System.out.println(new foo().bar);
or
foo f = new foo();
System.out.println(f.bar);

Just curious.. I have two classes that're part of the same package. If I have package foo, come come in this case I can't access foo.bar?
package foo;
public class foo {
String bar = "Foobar";
}
In a separate class
package foo;
public class test {
// code and stuff
System.out.println(foo.bar
}

You can, in this particular example, you are accessing instance
variable. In any case to access it you need a instance of the variable.
You can make the variable 'bar' as static to access it on the
class level.
