Import in java

Question

Hi everyone,
Could anyone have a clue on this?
Is there anyway that all the "IMPORT" in many *.java files being placed in a separate (let say a parameter file where i could declare) file of my package, thus for example 2 classes importing JFrame and doing 2 different things having reference to only one import.... (i hope, i am explicit enough :-P ). I am using the 1.4 jre...
thanks and god bless...

Answer 1

^not necessarily. For example, I have one class
where I import java.net, .io, javax.swing, .awt, and
.util. Of course because I only needed HashMap from
util and ServerSocket from .net, I specifically
imported only those 2 classes.....Are you directing that at my comments? What point are you trying to make here?
Importing will take maybe 1/10th of a second,Probably less than that, and whatever effecft it has will be ONLY at compile time. It has ZERO runtime effect
so
import all you want. Don't be careless (importing
libs you don't need) but don't worry about runtime.Yes, of course. Import what you need, and don't import what you don't. And no matter what you import, it will have ZERO runtime effect.
But if you find that your class needs to use a large number of other classes, it's a good sign that your class is trying to do too much and should be refactored. There's no hard and fast rule. It's just a guideline, a warning sign.
