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.

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)
specifically
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.
