Try not importing it at all. Just call shared.util.MWESLogging.getLog(). Due to object lifetimes in the gateway, it is unwise to ever import anything from shared.* or project.*. Just use the full names wherever you need them. It shouldn't be a problem in the client either, but the designer also has weirdness.
Import all you want from java. That is a pure jython operation and is effectively bulletproof. Other than the fact you can't use wildcards.
