Importing a class with an ambiguous name

[igorrumiha]

Hi,

I'm exploring the jexcelapi library (http://
jexcelapi.sourceforge.net), and one of the classes there is
jxl.write.Number. So, when I do:

=> (import 'jxl.write.Number)

I get:

Number already refers to: class java.lang.Number in namespace: user
[Thrown class java.lang.IllegalStateException]

I tried excluding the Number symbol from the current namespace but
that doesn't work (or I'm doing it wrong). So, how do I import classes
with names that already exist in my namespace?

p.s.
As far as writing Excel spreadsheets is concerned, I'm aware of the
Apache POI project, this one is the next on my list...

Thanks,

Igor Rumiha

If I remember correctly it will work just fine if you don't import it and you refer to it like (jxl.write.Number... 

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
