Is there a way to avoid typing whole package names in the Scala interpreter in Eclipse?

Question

I am currently writing a project in Scala in Eclipse and it's a real hassle having to type whole package names to get to the classes I've written. For example:

If I write a class Sender in package com.ab.cd.ef.gh then whenever I try and use that object I have to do something like:

val sender = com.ab.cd.ef.gh.Sender.getSender

or something similar. Is there a way to set the interpreter so that I only have to type in

val sender = Sender.getSender

?

Answer 1

use import com.ab.cd.ef.gh._ to import the whole package. See here for more details on scala import statements
