Help with package import

[whate...@gmail.com]

I have rhino version 1.6.7, and it's all working - cool. One thing I
can't figure out how to do is import a package.

I have a class, say com.foo.bar.Baz. I can create one of these, no
problems:

js%> var s = Packages.com.foo.bar.Baz()

I don't want to scatter all these full package references
(Packages.com.foo.bar) through code - I want to do:

js%> var s = Baz()

Help!?

On the docs (http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/ScriptingJava.html) is says
"if your scripts access a lot of different Java classes it can get
awkward to use the full package name of the class every time. Rhino
provides a top-level function importPackage that serves the same
purpose as Java's import declaration."

js%> importPackage(com.foo.bar)

But I get an error:

Exception thrown interpreting script:org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError:
ReferenceError: "importPackage" is not defined. (<cmd>#2)

Is there a way to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

To import a single class:
Baz = Packages.com.foo.bar.Baz;
var s = Baz();

you can also write:
b = Packages.com.foo.bar;
var s = b.Baz();

To use importPackage your root scope must be created with new
ImporterTopLevel(cx).

Oh, duh - I see what's going on. :)

Thanks a ton - the second idiom you outline (myPackage =
Packages.com.foo.bar) is *exactly* what I want to do.

Cheers,
