[tcljava-user] Restrictions on java::import command

[Cargo, D. <Dav...@Xi...>]

The documentation on the java::import commands says:

The java::import command provides a means to specify Java class names in
a
shortened format. This functionality is the equivalent of the import
statement
in Java except that importing all classes from a package is not
supported.

Is there any way to program around this?  The java::info command works
on
classes and objects; I don't see any obvious way to determine the
classes
in a package.

Thanks,

escargo

I looked at that at the time I wrote that and there was no Java API to support
it. Anyway, it is not a good idea to being with, you should only import
the classes you actually use. Importing the classes adds entries to
a lookup table, so the total number of imports should be kept as small
as possible.
