Hi,

I think we shouldn't make not a big fuzz about this, but I think we
should reconsider our coding standard for import statements.
My idea is to use a quick vote where people just state their preference
for this thing. After the vote is finished, we just use the choice of
the majority - no vetos, no discussions etc. To change the coding
standard we need at least three votes for the proposed way.

I hope everyone is fine with this.

The current standard is:

"Import statements need to be explicit in order to overcome name clashes.
They should be grouped by name. When the number of import statements of
the same package exceeds the 'readability' limit (please use common
sense), then import the complete package by adding '.*'."

I think the above is a little bit problematic as "need to be explicit"
is not reached by using a "*" import. Therefore I propose to change the
standard to:

"Import statements need to be explicit in order to overcome name clashes.
They should be grouped by name."

Please cast your votes:

a) I prefer the old way
b) I prefer the proposed way.


Thanks
Carsten
