prevent automatic import-statements [message #93128]

Hello, when I type a unused type in the editor, the codegenerator adds the
required import-statemant automatically. But I don`t want that. I want to
control what and when I import by myself. I think in a previous version of
eclipse a lightbulb with a red sign appeared and when I clicked on it, it
suggest me to import. Thats the way I would prefer it to work. Can I
change it somehow ?

Sorry I meant: Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Code Assist->Automatically
add import instead of qualified name

err, no, when I uncheck that one, eclipse adds the complete qualified name
instead of the import statement. But I onkly want to prevent the AUTOMATIC
import-statment-gneration. I want to be asked before, wether I want to
import or not. Like it was with that light-bulb thingy.

Hi,

The 2.1.1 version of Eclipse does not add the import automatically. It adds
when you use the content assist to get a completion for a class name. If you
write the whole class name without using completion the "light-bulb thingy"
appears and add a quick-fix possibility to import the class.
Personally: I think the completion *must* import (or use the full name)
because without that a compiler error occurs in the code (and because I like
the 'compile on save' functionality it would really hurt and slow me down).
Also you cannot get any content assist information for that class (and
variables of that type) until you import it manually.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba

Is there any way to, like in IDEA, press eg ALT+ENTER to import the
package instead of getting your mouse, pointing it at the ligh bulb,
clicking, selecting...

thanks

You can do any of the following with keyboard shortcuts:

1. Use content assist (ctrl+space) when type the class name (or right after
it): this will add the necessary import
2. Use quick-fix (ctrl+1) when the cursor is in the type you want to create
the import to: it will show you the same possibilities as clicking on the
light bulb
3. You can use 'Organize Imports' to synchronize all import statements to
the code (ctrl+shift+o)

HTH,

Robert,.

following your other message you neither want an import nor full
qualification. Can you describe the use case for such a behavior?
