I think the idea of IDEA's ordering is to put the imports that are the most generic down at the bottom, i.e. the core java.* classes. That way the first thing you see is specific stuff that's from other codebases, then java extensions, and finally java core packages. I think I actually like that.
That said, I'm fine either way as long as we're consistent, and I could just tell IDEA to do it the other way. So I'll plan to do this end-of-day today, and if you have a strong opinion either way, let me know - I'll go with whatever the majority thinks. --Glen > -----Original Message----- > From: Russell Butek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 8:37 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: FW: Unused imports > > > > > > > Consistency is more important than any particular pattern - I > personally > would prefer everything alphabetized - but I thought we > discussed this a > few months ago and decided on 2 groups: first the non-Java stuff, > alphabetized, then the Java stuff, alphabetized.

Every IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ) has an "optimize imports" option so it will not take long to fix the imports. Furthermore it will show that we really care about our source code. -Vladimir -- Vladimir R.
