When you import Java files into a project they are not created with their 
package structure and thus doesn’t run until you create the package and drag 
the classes into it.  A possible solution would be to add Java Import to the 
list of import types (currently one uses File System) and then the Java code 
could be parsed and then packages could be created.

Correct, a Java aware importer would address this problem.
This isn't planned for 2.0.

BTW, you don't need to create the package all you need to
do is to set the project's class path properly.
