---------------------------------
Summary: Standardize code style for "import package.*;"
Key: OPTIQ-306
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPTIQ-306
Project: optiq
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Julian Hyde
Assignee: Julian Hyde
Priority: Trivial
Our house style does not specify whether/when imports are to be converted to
stars. I propose that imports should be converted to stars if there are more
than 3 from the same package. Thus:
{code}
import a.b.C1;
import a.b.C2;
import a.b.C3;
{code}
becomes
{code}
import a.b.*;
{code}
when {{a.b.C4}} is added. This is consistent with IntelliJ's default rule.
It is OK to use stars if there are 3 or fewer uses. Thus removing the use of
{{a.b.C2}} would not require imports to be changed.
Checkstyle has a rule to ban star imports (excluding certain packages) but does
not allow them to be limited to a particular number.
