Java - Illegal use of reserved word 'import'

Question

I'm trying to import the package java.util.regex.*; and keep hitting an error in line 1 of my code.

import  java.util.regex.*;

Returns error: Illegal use of reserved word 'import'

Any idea what is going on here?

I'm writing my code in Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit for use in Photoshop CC.

Yes I forgot to include semicolon here. Semicolon is present in the actual code. — Dig_Dig_Dig, Jan 19 '15 at 02:02
Note that JavaScript (ExtendScript seems to be JavaScript-like) and Java are entirely different languages. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Jan 19 '15 at 02:02

ExtendScript is not Java. Java syntax does not work in ExtendScript.

Java standard classes are also not available from ExtendScript.
