I wasn’t able to post in Feature Request. So, redirect me if this is not he best place for this question.

I’m trying to import from javax.websocket.\*

How can I add to the Java Class Path so I can import other Java classes such as this?

Or, what location should I put a Java class into so that I can import using the Class Path the built in Jython is already using?

Java classes can be imported just like any other package, as long as they are available in the Java installation.

The syntax for this is:  
import javax.swing  
or  
from java.lang import Math

If I am not mistaken, javax.websocket is a Java EE package, and is not available in Java SE
