Thank you for your response!
I am well aware of all of the things you say. but but but...

The recomended way to "connect" to say a jdbc driver is indeed
Class.forName("driver.package...");

Ah, yes. JDBC driver loading involves certain tricks where a driver registers
itself when the classloader first loads the class. Knowing you're having
troubles with JDBC rather than general java package questions is helpful.

However I still can not make any reference to a "package" work in this
fashion.

Then it's time to get specific. Show us a small self-contained example, and
the output you get when you run it. A single class with a main(String[]) that
loads the driver should be sufficient.
