Description Svata Dedic 2000-02-15 01:29:59 UTC 
[Svata] it should work, if the class was already compiled AND parse class files is turned on.
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2000-06-28 16:39:59 UTC 
Providing support for such a query would require (persistent) list of all
classes in the package -- that would require to parse all .java files in that
package which is *very* time consuming operation. The query "does class Blah
exists" is a basic one and it is evaluated many times, so performing parsing on
the whole package would cause major performance penalty.
