How many question marks does it take to indicate an interrogative?

There is no "scripting" involved.  Java is not a scripting language.

The Java tutorials have a pretty good section on packages and the "import" directive (not command).

Java finds all classes by the classpath.  If the classpath does not include the current directory ("."), then the current directory is not searched.
