Conflicting Imports in Java 8
- How can one import two classes with the same name in Java8?
Is there any way in Java 8 to import two classes with the same name? Eclipse gives a "The import foo collides with another import statement" error if I try to import two classes from different packages with the same name. For instance, Python allows `import foo from bar as foobar` to distinguish between classes with the same name. Does Java have anything similar?

Some programming languages offer a syntax to import one of those things under a different name. In Python, that syntax is `import foo from bar as foobar`. Does Java have an analogous construct for this?
