Here is one pointer, for what it's worth. This is not a standalone tool and is currently full of usability and other problems, but IBM's Eclipse IDE does an outstanding job of pruning and sorting the imports list when you do right click/Organize Imports. It also has some intelligence to convert a long list of imports into something like "import my.package.*;" when all classes from a package are required. When it is stable and mostly bug free, I will switch to it in preference to IntelliJ's IDEA, CodeGuide, and what have you...
Vlad. Please respond to "Ant Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ant Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Re: Code format validation The only tool I've played with so far that does this is ImportScrubber. <http://importscrubber.sourceforge.net/> It does have an ant task with it. Unfortunately, I think it can only handle the scenerio where the class files are in the same directory(ies) as the source files. I also found it was not entirely reliable with picking up all dependencies on my medium size set of sources. Any other similar tools out there? I would love to find a more robust one. E.
