This may be a simple issue but i am spinning my wheels at this point. I am using the google app engine, and I have a simple jsp that has the following snippit in it

<%@page import="main.java.psbdom.*" %>
....
<%= PS_STRINGS.LABEL %>

and then i have a jar in the WEB-INF/lib dir that has this contents

$ jar -tvf psbdom-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
     0 Tue Feb 07 19:11:36 EST 2012 META-INF/

   602 Tue Feb 07 19:11:32 EST 2012 main/java/psbdom/constants/PS_STRINGS.class

this is the PS_STRINGS class

public class PS_STRINGS 

    {
        //public static final String 
        public static final String LABEL = "LABEL";
    ...
    }

and i get this error

An error occurred at line: 9 in the jsp file: /admin/addConcept.jsp
PS_STRINGS.LABEL cannot be resolved to a type
6: <title>Add Concept</title>
7: </head>
8: <body>
9:  <%= PS_STRINGS.LABEL %>

i am really baffled as to what i am doing wrong and any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
J

    You got the “import.*” wrong, The wildcard (import *) only applies to classes, not to sub-packages.

    Try 

    <%@page import="main.java.psbdom.*, main.java.psbdom.constants.*" %>
