Organizing import statements

In this section you will organize the import declarations in your source code.  Open junit.samples/VectorTest.java file in the Java editor if you do not already have it open.

  1. By default, import declarations are hidden in the Outline view. Select View Menu > Filters... and un-check Import declarations. Click OK to make them visible in the Outline view.
  2. Delete the import declarations by selecting them in the Outline view and selecting Delete from the context menu. Confirm the resulting dialog with Yes. You will see numerous compile warnings in the vertical ruler since the types used in the method are no longer imported.

    Note: You can specify the order of the import declarations using the Goto the organize imports preference page Java > Code Style > Organize Imports preference page.
  4. Save the file.
