I am not surprised that there are design reasons for not using import statements, which was why I made that caveat in my original posting. My reason for preferring imports over fully qualified classnames is purely for esthetic reasons. I find it much easier to read the code.

The reason we nuked the import statements was that sometimes a generated class would import too much (like EJB interfaces importing the bean implementation). -And sometimes this would cause ambiguities, such as when someone imports foo.Zap and bar.Zap and refer to Zap in the code. Why would you want import statements instead of fully qualified class names (fqcn)?
