problem is you are not following the proper package hierarchy

The Second file should be placed inside a folder package2 (in case of windows)then only it will compile and box.class should also be placed in package1 folder which itself lies in package2 folder
hence
Package2 folder(which is in classpath)
contains a) Test.class
b) Folder Package1 which itself has Box.class
