Description

Flink's Scala API depends partially on Flink's Java API classes. For example, the sortPartition method requires an Order enum value. Flink's Scala shell, however, only imports the Scala API classes. Thus, if a user wants to sortPartition in the Scala shell, he has to manually import the org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.Order enumeration. In order to improve the user experience. I propose to automatically import all Java API classes in Flink's Scala shell.
