Clojure does not provide a way to import every class in a Java package without specifying each class explicitly. See here for Rich Hickey's response to essentially the same question: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/fa00a0ff4c264f9a

This does not preclude you from writing code that would add this functionality, but Rich also mentions why this could be difficult (Java packages are not enumerable, so you would have to walk the classpath to know what classes are inside each package).
