[Bluej-discuss] bluej and user defined annotations

[Davin McCall]

Ok, but what is the package hierarchy as BlueJ sees it? Refer to my 
previous email... your project should have multiple packages. If not, 
you may have created it incorrectly.

(Speaking of which, when you say you did "import non-BlueJ", did you 
mean "open non-BlueJ" or "import"?)
