You are using Java strings for "problem" and "test(V)". These are mapped 
to ECLiPSe strings -- see the section on the mapping between ECLiPSe and 
Java data types in the Embedding manual. ECLiPSe modules
have to be atoms, not strings -- this is why you are getting the type 
error (and also "test(V)" is a string, and not
the compound term test(V)).
