JEP 216: Process Import Statements Correctly

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi Eddie,

Thanks a lot for the report. It is similar to JDK-7101822 but slightly 
different (as "Transaction" gets into the Scope by subclassing rather 
than by import). The internal cause is similar: TranscationImpl is being 
"member resolved" before its enclosing environment is fully finished. 
Reports like this (will) help validate the fix approach, thanks for it! 
If you have other/different cases, I'd be happy to hear them.

Thanks a lot,
     Jan
