Here we will see how variables different access modifiers behave when they are access from a class outside same package

package com.accessmodifier;

public class AccessVariableFromAnotherClass {

	// We will try to access below variable from other class
	public int i;
	private int j;
	protected int k;
	int l;
}

Access variable from above Class from a Class in different package.

package com.accessmodifier2;

import com.accessmodifier.AccessVariableFromAnotherClass;

/*
 * Here we will see how variables different access modifiers behave when they are access from a 
 * class outside same package  
 */
public class AccessVariableFromAnotherClassDiffPkg {

	public static void main(String args[]) {
		/*
		 * Now if we try to access all variable from class in different package.
		 * Only public variable is accessible. Private is not visible outside
		 * class hence it can not be accessed from here. Protected / Default is
		 * only visible to package hence can not be accessed outside package.
		 * Note *: Protected have special privilege for subclasses which we will
		 * see later. Because of all above reasons Compiler will show error
		 * "The field AccessVariableFromAnotherClass.k/i/j is not visible" for
		 * line no. 25, 26, 27
		 */
		AccessVariableFromAnotherClass class1 = new AccessVariableFromAnotherClass();
		System.out.println("Value of public variable in class :" + class1.i);
		System.out.println("Value of private variable in class :" + class1.j);
		System.out.println("Value of protected variable in class :" + class1.k);
		System.out.println("Value of default variable in class :" + class1.l);

	}
}
