Hi

After I installed Eclipse it complained about classes that
I had import but not used in the code. But now, it doesn't
complain anymore, so I need check this manually.

Is there any adjustment in Eclipse, which you can set to make
Eclipse complaining for unnecessary packages?

Go to the Java > Compiler > Errors/Warnings preference page and there
look at the 'Unnecessary code' section.

If you don't have special purpose. Do not use unnecessary pacakages. At
any time, by pressing Ctrl + Shift + O, you can organize importing
without any annoying.

I looked at the 'Unnecessary code' section in Java > Compiler >
Errors/Warnings. I set a warning for the use of unnecessary imports
but my unnecessary imports are still not hightlighted by the editor.
When I first started using Eclipse they were highlighted without
any compalation of code.

Since I'm compiling my code with Ant from the command window, I'm using
Eclipse just as an editor, not for compiling. And I want my unnecessary
imports highlighted by the editor, as it did when I started using Eclipse.
Maybe I've unconsciously switched any setting in Eclipse which have
disabled the highlighting of unnecessary imports by the editor?

Problems might be:
- your build class path is not setup correctly
- you changed the rendering of errors and warnings (General > Editors >
Text Editors > Annotations)
- you disabled to report problems as you type (Java > Editor)
