Part imports

The EGL import statement provides access to the parts in a second, named package. The import statement is used in two ways:

• A statement that explicitly provides access to a specific part in a package in called a one-part import statement. The part is always available at compilation time.
  Here is an example statement:

  import myPkg.MyProgram;

• A statement that provides access to a set of parts in a package is called an on-demand import statement because the parts that are actually required are made available only as needed.
  Here is an example statement:

  import myPkg.*;

  The example makes available all the parts in the myPkg package:

An import statement can give access to parts that are in another package repository, which is a directory or compressed file that holds one or more packages. Access requires that you reference the package repository in the EGL build path, which is a list of repositories. If you are working in batch mode, you set the list by coding the generation command; in particular, the command's eglpath parameter.
