Below programs demonstrate the isSealed() method.
Example 1:
 

Java

// isSealed() method

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // returns the Package
        // object for this package
        Package myPackage
            = Package.getPackage("java.lang");

        System.out.println(
            "Package represented by myPackage: "
            + myPackage.toString());

        // check if this package is sealed or not
        // using isSealed() method
        System.out.println(
            "Is this package sealed or not: "
            + myPackage.isSealed());
    }
}

        System.out.println(
            "Package represented by myPackage: "
            + myPackage.toString());

        // check if this package is sealed or not
        // using isSealed() method
        System.out.println(
            "Is this package sealed or not: "
            + myPackage.isSealed());
