I tried refering to the class from the other package by its full name
(pack2.OtherPack) from MainPack and that worked fine.
So you have a point about the problem being the actual import statements.
Here is the source that fails on "import pack2":

src\pack1\pack1.java:

package pack1;
import pack2;

public class MainPack {

public static void main(String[] args) {
 OtherPack op = new OtherPack();
 op.print();
}
}

src\pack2\pack2.java:

package pack2;

public class OtherPack {
public void print(){
 System.out.println("Hello");
}
}
