Problem with Ctrl+Shift+O [message #683992]

Hello everyone! I'm learning to use the Ubuntu version of Eclipse to develop applications on the Android platform. At the 'Hello, Views' tutorial at Android Developers, a tip is provided to "press Ctrl (or Cmd) + Shift + O to import the required packages" after pasting code in to an Eclipse project.

Nothing happens (that I can see) when I press the hotkeys. Does this mean there were no required packages? What should I see? What's an example of a required package? And is there menu option equivalent to Ctrl+Shift+O?

Yes, it could mean there are no packages to import. It is available in menu item Source->Organize Imports.

Thanks for your reply. Could you or someone provide some sample code I could paste into a new java project that would show me Ctrl+Shift+O in action?

Edit:

Actually, I don't have the option 'Organize Imports' in the Source menu. There is Windows > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Organize Imports. But it should be set to whatever the default is. Java is listed in the main box, with a few dozen packages assigned to the java prefix.

Using Eclipse SDK, Version: 3.5.2

List list = new ArrayList();

Ctrl+Shift+O should add these two lines near the top of the class:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
