That's your first mistake - using the current directory.
I am studying for an Oracle certification and I found this exercise in
a book. There are at least five similar questions and all of them put
the classes in the same directory, even if they belong to different
packages. I agree with you that this is not the best practice but it
is not my fault if the quiz is conceived that way.
It's not "not a best practice", it's the wrong way to do it.
It is your fault if you fail to learn the truth of what Java does.

Why don't you read the documentation?
You will find it astonishingly helpful.
Three books + the man page should be enough but if I had found the
answer there I wouldn't have posted here.
Oracle's Java site has the best fundamental data and generally easiest to get to, plus it's authoritative. Everyone should have bookmarks to the tools documentation
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/
(or use http://lmgtfy.com/?q=java+tools+documentation)

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/index.html#basic
"You should arrange source files in a directory tree that reflects their package tree. For example, if you keep all your source files in /workspace, the source code for com.mysoft.mypack.MyClass should be in /workspace/com/mysoft/mypack/MyClass.java."
The tutorials give the same information.
