I agree that redundant can denote "repetition" (and the meaning we probably encounter most often), but it can also simply mean "exceeding what is necessary or normal" (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=redundant), so IntelliJ's diction appears correct to me.
Perhaps "Import statement is unnecessary" as yet another alternative? Either way, I prefer any solution that helps the JetBrains folks avoid having to write code to distinguish between the two cases. chris > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:12 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Re: [Eap-list] 606: Minor misleading error message > > > > Redundant means that there is another statement that already has the > same effect: > > import a.b.*; > import a.b.SomeClass; > > -> import a.b.SomeClass is redundant. > > There should be two messages: "Import statement is unused" > and "Import > statement is redundant", one for each case. > > If you only use one message for both cases: "Import statement > is unused > or redundant". > > Carlos > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: quarta-feira, 27 de Fevereiro de 2002 17:35 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [Eap-list] 606: Minor misleading error message > > > > > > Hello Russ, > > > > Why do you find it misleading ?
