I am having problems compiling some Scala with Eclipse where I try to import a class from a Java jar which contains both a namespace and class of the same name. I can compile with scalac, however.

e.g. the Java project (jar) contains:

src/foo/Bar.java
src/foo/Bar/some_resource.txt

Scala project references foobar.jar

Foobartest.scala:

import foo.Bar 
class Foobartest {  }

Compiler complains with:

package foo contains object and package with same name: bar one of them needs to be removed from classpath

I can build this class with scalac, but not with Eclipse (or Maven!). I first saw this problem using jenkins-core-1.399.jar
