If you just need to use a native Java library, you can import it like so and no
network communications is needed:
import java:guava.ImmutableList;
If you do something like this instead:
import imop:code.google.com/guava.ImmutableList;
It means that the ImmutableList is actually hosted at google, and therefore no
instances of that will be created in your computer. You can only use them
remotely. Note that Meso does not download source code over the network. It
only acquires an abstract definition of the imported resource for type checking.
