Question

how can I import the following package:

 org.hibernate.type.StringType

in Scala? If I do:

 import org.hibernate.type.StringType

“type” is recognized as a keyword. This is the second time I have run into this in two days. My last solution was the change my (Java) package name. This is no longer a valid solution!

Here is the message from Scala IDE:

 <error> is not a member of org{org.type}.hibernate{org.hibernate.type}

Answer 1

Wrap the keyword with backquotes:

import org.hibernate.`type`.StringType

This trick also works when calling methods, which names are keywords in Scala.
