 From 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/accesscontrol.html :

Modifier |	Class	| Package |	Subclass |	World
:---------|:------------:| :-----: | :--------: | :---------:
public |Y	|Y	|Y	|Y	|Y
protected	|Y	|Y	|Y	|N
no modifier	|Y	|Y	|N	|N
private	|Y	|N	|N	|N

So not the same as Java…
