How to bring simple name into scope?

Question

I'm developing a code generator that will output the following classes/objects:

class A {
   var a : Int = _
   var b : B = _

   class B {
    var b : Int = _
    var c : C = _

    class C {
      var c : Int = _
    }
  }
}

object A {
  val a = ...
  object B extends Base {
    val b = ...
    object C extends Base {
      val c = ...
    }
  }
}

with the user constructing the terms like this:

A (
  a(1),
  B (
    b(2),
    C (
      c(3)
    )
  )
)

Now in order to make it work I have to insert 3 imports in the user code:

import A._
import A.B._
import A.B.C._

This looks ugly to me. May be there is another way to tackle the problem that I'm just blind to see?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

After import A._ B will be in the import scope (at least in Scala 2.8), so you can spare a few letters:

import A._
import B._
import C._

Answer 2

You could use defs in your generated code. For example,

object A {
    // ... other code

    def b = B.b   
    def C = B.C
    def c = C.c
}
