This is my code snippet, here I try to create a new class from a extracted block from another class. Now I need to find what are all import statements required in the method that is extracted which has be added to the generated class.
private void generateClass() throws IOException {

    AST ast = AST.newAST(AST.JLS8);
    CompilationUnit unit = ast.newCompilationUnit();

    TypeDeclaration type = ast.newTypeDeclaration();
    type.setInterface(false);
    type.modifiers().add(ast.newModifier(Modifier.ModifierKeyword.PUBLIC_KEYWORD));
    type.setName(ast.newSimpleName("GeneratedClass"));

    MethodDeclaration methodDeclaration = identifyASTNode.getMethodDeclaration();
    methodDeclaration = (MethodDeclaration)ASTNode.copySubtree(ast, methodDeclaration);

    type.bodyDeclarations().add(methodDeclaration);

    unit.types().add(type);

    writeToFile(unit.toString());
}

Operations in JDT/UI (quick fix, refactoring ...) use org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.rewrite.ImportRewrite for this purpose.

This works best in conjunction with an ASTRewrite performing all changes, rather than direct manipulation of the AST.
But applying text edits from ImportRewrite.rewriteImports() after creating that CU could still work, just never saw s.t. like that.
Perhaps the most tricky part is: you already need a CompilationUnit for ImportRewrite.create(..), but perhaps it's OK to pass an empty CU...

HTH,
Stephan
