Yes.

Java package = UML package = C++ namespace = C# namespace

Thanks. I was thinking in terms of C#, should have pointed that out.

From 10000 feet it is the same.

There are a few details that differ.

In Java the directory structure should match the package structure. No
such restriction in C#.

In C# you can have multiple namespaces in one file. In Java one file
belongs to one package (see previous).

Java has default/package accessibility. C# internal accessibility goes
in assemblies.

If you use VS and Eclipse and let them structure the project, then
you will not feel the differences much.
