Object or Package ?

I need some precision to understand my misunderstood about organisation.
When I start to read document about Nice, I was happy because I think 
great no more need to declare Helper class to enhance existing Class 
(e.g. StringUtils in jakarta-commons/lang). I put the "jar" in the 
classpath and the compiler detect extension So I could write :

String s ="...";
if (s.isBlank) {
    ...
}

without need to import other thing than String to tell compiler that 
String is an alias for java.lang.String.

So if method about String could be define in any package. Do I need to 
tell from witch package, the method come ?
In this case :
// in Nice
import stringEscapeUtils;

...
void doStuff() {
    let s = "...";
    println(s.escapeXml());
}
....

is similar to
// in java 1.2-1.4
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils;

...
public void doStruff() {
    String s = "...";
    System.out.println(StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(s));
}

// in java 1.5 (with static import)
import static org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils;

...
public void doStruff() {
    String s = "...";
    System.out.println(escapeXml(s));
}


Is it true ?

In this case Nice is a functionnal language with advanced feature about 
structure (like Constructor, Properties, Inheritance,...). I thing it's 
important because it helps to understand the approach and how to 
organize source, documentation/api (object or functionnal),

Is it equivalent to write "o.equals(o2)" and "equals(o, o2)" ?
