Follow-up from last Friday: I have not been able to figure out this
situation.

It would appear that I am supposed to "import" my model from my Global
Area into my other packages for use, but whenever I create "New
declarative model" or "Upload POJO Model jar" and then select "Import
asset from global area", there's nothing in the drop down for "Asset to
import".  I have 2 Model assets in the global area - one a POJO, the
other a Declarative model.  Is there something that needs to be done to
make these "visible" to the other packages?  I can't find anything in
the documentation about it.
