  - getElementName
```
String getElementName()
```
    Returns the name that has been imported. For an on-demand import, this includes the trailing ".*". For example, for the statement "import java.util.*", this returns "java.util.*". For the statement "import java.util.Hashtable", this returns "java.util.Hashtable".
    
    Specified by:
    
    getElementName in interface IJavaElement
    
    Returns:
    
    the name that has been imported
  - getFlags
```
int getFlags()
      throws JavaModelException
```
    Returns the modifier flags for this import. The flags can be examined using class Flags. Only the static flag is meaningful for import declarations.
    
    Returns:
    
    the modifier flags for this import
    
    Throws:
    
    JavaModelException - if this element does not exist or if an exception occurs while accessing its corresponding resource.

    true if the import is on-demand, false otherwise
