Eliminate breaking relative names in source.
These things are killing me. Constructions like package scala.foo.bar.baz import foo.Other DO NOT WORK in general. Such files are not really in the "scala" package, because it is not declared package scala package foo.bar.baz And there is a second problem: using a relative path name means compilation will fail in the presence of a directory of the same name, e.g. % mkdir reflect % scalac src/reflect/scala/reflect/internal/util/Position.scala src/reflect/scala/reflect/internal/util/Position.scala:9: error: object ClassTag is not a member of package reflect import reflect.ClassTag ^ src/reflect/scala/reflect/internal/util/Position.scala:10: error: object base is not a member of package reflect import reflect.base.Attachments ^ As a rule, do not use relative package paths unless you have explicitly imported the path to which you think you are relative. Better yet, don't use them at all. Unfortunately they mostly work because scala variously thinks everything scala.* is in the scala package and/or because you usually aren't bootstrapping and it falls through to an existing version of the class already on the classpath. Making the paths explicit is not a complete solution - in particular, we remain enormously vulnerable to any directory or package called "scala" which isn't ours - but it greatly limts the severity of the problem.
