[11:15] <hannesw> woohoo, importPackage has been fixed in rhino
[11:15] <hannesw> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421071
[11:15] <hannesw> so you can now do importPackage(javax.swing) without a 10x performance hit
[11:15] <hannesw> I'm going to re-enable the ImporterTopLevel functions in helma-ng
[12:20] <zumbrunn> that also effected importJar, I assume?
[13:46] <zumbrunn> ah, no it didn't
[13:47] <zumbrunn> different animal
[13:59] <hannesw> zumbrunn: yes, different animal.
[14:00] <hannesw> it's now called addToClasspath(), just because it's not limited to jars
[14:00] <hannesw> and it's implemented in helma-ng's global.js
[14:04] <zumbrunn> speaking of global.js reminds me, I some time ago did some experimenting with a "modules" object
[14:05] <zumbrunn> like the one I was talking about regarding the import/load/require terminology
[14:05] <zumbrunn> so you could do... var foo = modules.helma.File;
[14:06] <zumbrunn> and... import(modules.helma.File);
[14:06] <zumbrunn> which is kind of nice compare to something like... import('helma.File');
[14:06] <zumbrunn> http://github.com/zumbrunn/helma-ng/tree/master/modules/global.js
[14:41] <hannesw> zumbrunn: yes, this is quite nice
[14:42] <hannesw> you might want to use Object.defineProperty for the modules object
