Summary: sys.path.append doesn't add .jar file properly

Initial Comment:
Jython 2.1 final on win XP.

Jython 2.1 on java1.4.2-beta (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('junit.jar')
>>> import junit
>>> junit.framework
<java package junit.framework at 13554088>
>>> junit.framework.TestCase
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: java package 'junit.framework' has no 
attribute 'TestCase'
>>> from junit.framework import *
>>> junit.framework.TestCase
<jclass junit.framework.TestCase at 22498184>
>>>

As you see the junit.framework.TestCase is not 
accessible simply by adding the jar file in the sys.path. 
You need to import the specific class in order to access 
it.

Even if "TestCase" class seems to be accessible from the 
work-around, you can't instantiate an instace from that 
class; it results in a null pointer exception.
