You should be able to make the Javadoc work by using the full name. Indeed, I think Checkstyle is right - IMO it does not make sense to import a class purely for Javadoc purposes.
It's quite useful to be able to quickly search code for an import to see where a package is used; that technique breaks if 'unnecessary' imports are present.
