Description matiouchkine 2002-07-15 16:51:57 UTC 
According to JMI spec:

====================================================
RefPackage.refPackage(String nestedPackageName)
...
InvalidNameException is raised when the
"nestedPackageName" does not denote a valid nested
package name.
====================================================

Current JMI implementation of MDR in such case
simply returns *null* silently, without throwing
any exceptions.
