Class Overriding and Package Namespacing?

I have two areas involving package namespacing which are frustrating me. The first of which being my class definition. The classes are both in different packages, so to inherit from a class in another packge I did:

classdef inputIniReader < AnalysisUtil.DataIO.File.iniReader

But I cannot 'import' before hand in order to get this:

import AnalysisUtil.DataIO.File.iniReader;
classdef inputIniReader < iniReader

Is there any way to achieve the shortened name?

Another issue is where I am overriding a method from a super class:

% Imports
import AnalysisUtil.DataIO.File.iniReader;

% Read the raw data.
data = obj.read@iniReader(filePath);

This code does not work because:

'iniReader' is not a valid base class.

I also tried:

% Imports
import AnalysisUtil.DataIO.File.*;

And it still didn't work. Do I really need to fully qualify the namespace just to call the super method from within an overriding function like this?:

% Read the raw data.
data = [e-mail](filePath);

Because this is the only solution that seems to work.

• "Is there any way to achieve the shortened name?" &nbsp No.
• "And it still didn't work" &nbsp Neither when I try with R2013b. I thought it would. Cannot find it described in the documentation.
• "fully qualify the namespace" &nbsp My code is littered with names of packages.
