With anything more than a very basic application, a developer needs to import other packages into their classes for them to function correctly. This quickly leads to a number of import
statements at the top of a class file. NetBeans offers facilities to automatically add import
statements (fix imports), in order to save developer time, and the ability to tidy up the import
statements (organize imports).
It is necessary to have a project with valid Java source code in order to fix and organize imports. If you are unsure on how to create a project, please check the recipes in Chapter 1, Using NetBeans Projects. To help follow this recipe, when creating a project, enter UsingImports
as the project name and ensure that the option to create a main class called com.davidsalter.cookbook.usingimports.UsingImports
is selected.
