| Setting the order of import statements |
| </h1> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| From the menu bar, select <strong>Window</strong> > <strong>Preferences</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the left pane, expand the <strong>Java > Code Style</strong> category and select <strong>Organize Imports</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The Organize Imports page defines the sorting order of import statements. |
| In the Imports list, manage the list of package prefixes as follows: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>New</strong> to add a new prefix |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>New Static</strong> to add a new prefix for static imports (J2SE 5.0 only) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Edit</strong> to change the name of an existing prefix |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Use <strong>Up</strong> and <strong>Down</strong> buttons to rearrange the sequence |
| of the list by moving the selected prefix up or down |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Remove</strong> to remove the selected prefix from the list |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Use <strong>Import...</strong> and <strong>Export...</strong> to load a list of prefixes from a file |
| or to store it to a file |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>Number of imports needed before .*</strong> field, |
| type the number of import statements that are allowed to refer to the |
| same package before <em><package prefix>.*</em> is used. |
| This number is called the import threshold. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>OK</strong> when you are done. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> The order of import statements can also be configured per project: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select a java project, open the pop-up menu and choose <strong>Properties</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select the <strong>Code Style > Organize Imports</strong> page and check <strong>Enable project specific sttings</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Manage the list as explained above. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>OK</strong> when you are done. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
