referencing the 'data' packages from Jython

If you want to reference specific classes in any of the packages in
"visad.data" or it's sub-packages, you need to first do:

from visad import *

before doing something like:

from visad.data.mcidas import PointDataAdapter

Without the first from...import the classloader apparently gets confused by the
class named "visad.Data" and the packages that start with "visad.data".  

I have updated the Jython tutorial page on reading files to reflect this.
