I'm not sure what the "importPackage" function is. I used the import function in Designer/Eclipse and placed the jars directly into WebContent/WEB-INF/lib.

 

Or are you talking about the import statement at the beginning of the class declaration? When I add an import statement, the IDE complains that it can not resolve the class reference. 

 

Did I do something wrong?

Here is an importPackage example: importPackage(java.io);

It works like the Java import statement;

 

 Once you have the jar files on your buildpath (which it sounds like you do) then you can also reference the objects specifically.

This code works in my server side JavaScript library too: var xl=new org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook();

 

 So it sounds like you are saying that they are there.

 

So why doesn't the IDE resolve them? I'd like to be able to use type ahead... Actually, the IDE DOES resolve the packages...just not the classes contained therein...

 

 :-)  No answer for that one.  Sorry.
