is there a way we can import a class under another name? Like if i have a class called javax.C and another class called java.C i can import javax.C under the name C1 and import java.C under the name C2.

We can do something like this in C#:

using Sys=System;

or Vb:

Imports Sys=System

No, there is nothing like that in Java. You can only import classes under their original name, and have to use the fully qualified name for all that you don't import (except those in java.lang and the current class's package).
