I apologize if anyone has already made this point, but...
If I'm writing code that uses a class called org.cavity.Thing...
import org.cavity.*
import org.apache.*
public class Test {
Thing t = new Thing();
}
But later on, if the class org.apache.Thing is created, the code will no
longer compile, right?
Isn't this an untouchable reason for using explicit imports?
