Forum: JRuby equivalent of the package xxx

Is there any way to "be equivalent to" the package declaration in a
.java file?

Something like this in java:

package org.familysearch.digitalarchive.tapeingestreader;

in ruby becomes something like

java_import "org.familysearch.digitalarchive.tapeingestreader.*"

Thanks.

Looks like it's not possible in the global namespace (?)

but is within a module.

module M; include_package 
"org.familysearch.digitalarchive.tapeingestreader"; end

Anybody know how to do this into the global namespace?  Or to somehow 
enumerate the java classes within a package, so you can fake it?

Looks like it is possible, like this:

module M
  include_package "javax.swing"
  include_package "java.awt"
  include_package "java.awt.image" # BufferedImage
  BufferedImage
end

class Object
  class << self
    alias :const_missing_old :const_missing
    def const_missing c
      M.const_get c
    end
  end
end

BufferedImage # works
JFrame # works

You'd think that this would work, as well:

require'java'

module M
  include_package "javax.swing"
  include_package "java.awt"
  include_package "java.awt.image" # BufferedImage
  BufferedImage
end

include M
BufferedImage # works
JFrame # this line fails

Is this a bug?
