How to reproduce:

All defaults, hello world application as simple as possible.

[Alt+Insert]|Generate|Constructor

Remove public from public NewClass()

Add a method:

void hello()

{ System.out.println("Hello"); }

Save.

[Ctrl+Shift+U] Create / Update Tests|JUnit|OK

In the source packages tree, rename mavenproject1 to mavenproject2.
Click button "refactor"

The following warnings and errors were found. You can continue only with warnings.

List or errors:

Warning:
Class "NewClassTest" within the same package is using feature "hello()" of class you want to move ("NewClass").

Click "Refactor"

That actually creates an import in the test class:

import my.mavenproject2.NewClass;

But the test class has 2 errors as can be expected:

NewClass() is not public in NewClass; cannot be accessed from outside package

hello() is not public in NewClass; cannot be accessed from outside package

Rename the test package mavenproject1 to mavenproject2 to fix the error.

NewClassTest does not have any more errors.

The new import statement in the test class is now "Import From The Same Package".

But the test package has a red badge "Contains files with errors."
