How to import under an alias?

[Ismael VC]

Hello everyone! I'm reading the clojure introduction at clojure-doc, I'm 
currently on namespaces, and after reading about:

(require '[clojure.string :as str])

I tried to do:

user= (require '[javax.swing.JOptionPane/showMessageDialog :as Diag])

so I could do:

user= (Diag nil Hello Clojure!)

but I get:

FileNotFoundException Could not locate showMessageDialog__init.class or 
showMessageDialog.clj on classpath:   clojure.lang.RT.load (RT.java:443)

I only know Python, I'm trying to do something analogous to this in Jython:

 from javax.swing.JOptionPane import showMessageDialog as Diag
 Diag(None, Hello Jython!)

Re: How to import under an alias?

Thanks Gary!

My intention is to have an alias, so making a new function, seems to be the 
best option:

(defn dialog
  Shows a dialog and asks for confirmation.
  [message]
  (javax.swing.JOptionPane/showMessageDialog nil message))

(dialog Hello Clojure!)

Is there any difference or drawback in doing it like that instead of first 
importing it?

(import '[javax.swing JOptionPane])

(defn dialog-2
  Shows a dialog and asks for confirmation.
  [message]
  JOptionPane/showMessageDialog nil message)

(dialog-2 Hello Clojure!)
