    Howdy, I have a quick question. How would you call an arraylist(from a method) that is in a different class but is in the same package? Im running Eclipse if that makes any difference.

    You'd have to expose the arraylist as a property on the other class.

    What do you mean by "call" an ArrayList?

    You probably shouldn't be returning a reference to an ArrayList from an object in general; can't you encapsulate the operations you wish to perform into methods within the Class that contains the ArrayList? And if you can't then maybe you should be looking at your design... although I may be way off track here depending on what it is you're trying to do and the type of application.
