It is better to import the specific class/classes that you need and then model a relationship to those classes.

It is also better to display the relationships to specific packages of interest. Some packages may include many classes and instead of creating a messy, cluttered Class diagram, you could simply show the relationship to the "package" (not the specific classes in the package.)
