java import importerror

I have imported an Existing Java Application into my Workspace . I see that , a class with same name is present in different packages with in the Application.

For example a class named "Status.java" is present with in 

com.tata.model.common.Status;
com.bayer.frontlayer.dao.Status;

When I tried to use both of them within a class, for example as shown below 

import com.tata.model.common.Status;
import  com.bayer.frontlayer.dao.Status;
public class Adapter
{

}

It started giving an error in Eclipse stating

The import com.bayer.frontlayer.dao.Status collides with another import statement

Is there anyway to solve this without changing the name of the classes??

Thank you.

You can use them explicitly without importing them, so the included package name differentiates between the two:

 //No imports required!
public class Adapter
{
     private com.tata.model.common.Status x;
     private com.bayer.frontlayer.dao.Status y;
}
