Problems with "-implicit:none"

[José Cornado]

It is no fun if the workaround is not posted :-}

I flushed the streams to disk thus creating the *.java. Since the
background jvm uses these classes and not the user, the files (*.java and
*.class) can be deleted from disk soon after consumption. The disk remains
free of clutter.

I can not tell if the compiler processes the imported *.java or just merely
checks its presence since the corresponding *.class is already in place.

Hope these two cents help!

Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep
going back and beginning all over again.
