Does java import loads the class?

Question

Hi,
Acc common practive {not mentioned in Sun java convention} if a class is using more than three classes from a pacakage then its ideal to import all the classes from tht package instead of importing individual classes. i.e., import pacakage.*;
1) Does this kind of load all the classes into memory?
2) Does import statement actually loads a class into memory
isnt import jst to use class name instead of complete package name in the code?
3) Does a class get loaded only when its object/ its static memebers are invoked?
Would appreciate if anyone can answer these queries.
Thanks
Deepak

Acc common practive {not mentioned in Sun java
convention} And not mentioned or usually followed anywhere else. Who says this?
if a class is using more than three
classes from a pacakage then its ideal to import all
the classes from tht package instead of importing
individual classes. i.e., import pacakage.*;
1) Does this kind of load all the classes into
memory?imports have no influence on anything but the length of written code. Thanks for being the second person this hour to ask this question without researching first.
2) Does import statement actually loads a class into
memoryNo. It does nothing at all.
isnt import jst to use class name instead of complete
package name in the code?Yes.
3) Does a class get loaded only when its object/ its
static memebers are invoked?Yes.
