[Jython-users] Importing and using nested classes

[Michael H. <mh...@al...>]

Hello,

I'm new to Jython and to Java, so I might be trying things that are
just nonsense.  But I am having trouble importing and using
multiply-nested java classes using jython.  The following illustrates
the problem:

In testlib.java:

public class testlib {
    static public class B {
        static public class C {
            public C() {
                System.out.print("This must be working!\n");
            }
        }
    }
}


In test.java:
import testlib.B.C;

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


In test.py:

#! /usr/bin/env jython

import testlib
import testlib.B
import testlib.B.C


Try to run it:

$ JIKESPATH=.:$JIKESPATH jikes testlib.java test.java
$ java test
This must be working!
$ jython test.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "test.py", line 5, in ?
ImportError: No module named C
$ 

I thought this should import the C class from jython, but it doesn't
seem to work.  Could the problem be that it is doubly-nested (i.e.,
the .class file has two '$' in it)?

Otherwise I've been astounded how easy it is to use Jython and Java
together, and we will probably start using it on a medium-big project
at work.

Thanks,
Michael
