EGL can automatically organize
the import statements
in your code.
Organizing import statements
involves
reordering and grouping the statements by the package name. Also,
EGL removes unnecessary import statements
from your code.
To set preferences for organizing the
import statements
in your code:
- From the main menu, click .
- In the Preferences
window, expand and click Organize
Imports.
- On the Organize Imports page of the Preferences
window, set the
order for import statements in the list
of package names:
- To add a new package or prefix to the list,
click New and
type the new name. You can use the asterisk character as a wild card
at the end of the package name.
- To reorder the packages and
prefixes, click a package or prefix
in the list and then click Up or Down.
- In the Number of imports needed field,
enter the minimum number of individual import statements
in the same package to simplify into an import statement
with a wild card character.
For example, your file might have the
following similar
import statements:
import com.mypackage.myPart1;
import com.mypackage.myPart2;
import com.mypackage.myPart3;
If you set the
Number
of imports needed field to
3, the editor
simplifies these
import statements into
the following
import statement:
import com.mypackage.*;
- To save your changes and remain in the Preferences window, click Apply.
To save the changes and exit the window, click OK.
To organize your import statements,
open
a source file in the editor, right-click the file, and then click Organize
Imports. Alternatively, you can organize the import statements
for every file in a project or package by right-clicking the project
or package in the Project Explorer view and then clicking Organize
Imports.
