Do you start out your package as:
package MyPackage
{
//class definitions
}
and then import like this:
import MyPackage.*
?
That should work.

Yeah, I think it will still drill down and look for a class with the
same name if it doesn't find a package of the same name as the file. You
wouldn't want to name your files the same name as the class though...
the package file can contain multiple classes.
