You might use a disassembler or decompiler, add package names, then
reassemble/recompile:
<http://www.pcug.org.au/~mayon/classcracker/index.html>
<http://www.ahpah.com/products.html>

DashO-Pro may be able to do the package renaming directly (it works on
class files):
<http://www.preemptive.com/products.html>

Writing a tool to do the package renaming wouldn't be terribly hard either,
although if you're gonna go to that much trouble it might be better to just
add the feature to MLj yourself, which would be more useful for the rest of us.
