Use of package in an Applet

[geckoMan]

All the applets that I have seen do not have a package reference. I was going through and organizing all of my Java source code so that when I build everything with Ant, the class files are placed under a "classes" directory with a directory relating to each package name. Everything works fine except for the few applets I have. It seems as though trying to reference the package name with the name of the class in the HTML file isn't as easy as it would seem. I keep getting "class not found" or "wrong name (package-name/applet-name)" errors.

Any thoughts, comments, or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
