JVM Language Summit Examples

[Curt Albert]

Thank you for pointing me to the example. I got it working and am now
trying to adapt it to substitute methods for a class of my own. I tried to
import the package containing the class but I don't know where to add it to
the classpath when it compiles. Whenever I compile I keep getting error
package does not exist. Is there something in mx.py that I need to change
to add to the classpath?

Thanks,
Curt Albert
