It can easily break compatibility if someone introduces a new class with the same class name as another class in a different package.
ex:
import foo.*; /* has class A */
import bar.*; /* has class B */
class Foo {
A a;
B b;
}
Imagine time going by and another developer creates another class called A in the bar package. The code above will not recompile because of the abiguous class name.
or org.apache.*.
BTW, there is ant task, for example CheckStyle (http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/) which could be used
and which may be integrated in build/gump to clean code....
