You're mostly right.  But you import types/classes, not packages.  If
I've understood you right, you've used something equivalent to:

  <%@ page import="org.opencms.lock" %>

In order to use »org.opencms.lock.CmsLockType.TEMPORARY« without
qualification as »CmsLockType.TEMPORARY«, add the following to your JSP
(note that the right class name is »CmsLockType« instead of »CmsLock«):

  <%@ page import="org.opencms.lock.CmsLockType" %>

The servlet container (i.e. Tomcat) translates this to the import
declaration »import org.opencms.lock.CmsLockType;« before compilation.
