If one uses javascript keywords in java package names, importPackage fails.

For example I have java packages starting with in prefix e.g. "in.opencombine.util" and need to use classes in BIRT reports.

It is not suggest to use java keyword in package name, see:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/package/namingpkgs.html

In some cases, the internet domain name may not be a valid package name. This can occur if the domain name contains a hyphen or other special character, if the package name begins with a digit or other character that is illegal to use as the beginning of a Java name, or if the package name contains a reserved Java keyword, such as "int". In this event, the suggested convention is to add an underscore
