Being in the default package means the file would be in the top source directory of the project (because a default package has no name). If you look at the entire filename for Contact.java you'll you'll see it's down a directory path like you would expect from being in a package. You can figure out the package name from the path shown by replacing the /'s with .'s and put in the appropriate package statement at top.
