Please explain the IMPORT statement?

I have been searching for information on the import statement, but can't seem to locate it. I understand how to use import, but I would like to know, in detail, exactly what it does.
When I import, for example; "java.awt.*", I would expect this statement to import ALL of the classes define under "java.awt". However, I notice in the DiveLog class, that I must also import "java.awt.event.*". This is confusing to me.
Can someone either explain this for me, or point me to the imort documentation?

aye - what yawmark says. And also be aware that import doesn't really "import" any source (not the way #include does, if'n you're an old school C coder). It's just there to shorten typing. You can either type "java.io.IOException" a lot, or import java.io.IOException and get away with just typing "IOException". But you've just "imported" the namespace, not any kind of source.
Make sense?

  • Please explain the magic! (Question)

    The ActionScript snippet below is from the BlaseDS chat sample app. Can someone please explain the magic that declares the chatMessage property of AsyncMessage.body (IMessage.body?) object? It's not in the docs anywhere so I'm guessing it is not built into AsyncMessage. And it's not defined in any of the sample app source files.
    Coming from a strongly-typed development world, seeing a property that apparently has no declaration and is not explicitly instantiated does not pass the sniff-test.
    Thanks.
    <mx:Script>
      <![CDATA[
       import mx.messaging.messages.AsyncMessage;
       import mx.messaging.messages.IMessage;
       private function send():void
        var message:IMessage = new AsyncMessage();
        message.body.chatMessage = msg.text;
        producer.send(message);
        msg.text = "";
       private function messageHandler(message:IMessage):void
        log.text += message.body.chatMessage + "\n";
      ]]>

    Hold your nose, because that is the dynamic "feature" of Actionscript.  Pretty much every class derives from Object (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Object.html) which is a dictionary of key-value property pairs.  The {"chatMessage", msg.text as Object} pair is created upon assignment.
    I am fairly new to Flex/AS, and while not having to declare types is convenient for quick and dirty coding, I try to avoid it in production code...I have been bitten by refactoring a class and not catching all the places where it was referenced dynamically.  I'm sure there are comprehensive pro and con arguments out there.

  • How to organize the import statements in FXML Files?

    Hello,
    I'm a user of NetBeans IDE and it can organize the import statements in *.java files. Now, I'm using JavaFX and editing the *.fxml files as well. I want to know how to organize the import statements in *.fxml files?
    Thanks a lot.

    You should use Scene Builder, it will make all these import statements for you.
    Moreover, it will greatly simplify the writing of your FXML files, since you only have to Drag&Drop JavaFX objects on the scene. Then, it automatically generates FXML files.

  • 2 GB Limit – Please explain the concept

    I have more than 35000 photos already uploaded into Revel.
    In order to continue to remain a Free member, shall I have to delete all my photos and keep only within 2 GB limit?
    Please explain the new concept... Thanks!

    You may continue to use revel free of charge with the new model change, however, if you have stored more than 2 GB of files, then you will be unable to upload any additional photos/videos until you delete some files to take you below the limit or subscribe to get unlimited uploads.

  • TS1503 In the iPhone, please explain the requirements in settings for Apple id, iPhone and iCloud

    In the iPhone, please explain the requirements in settings for Apple id, iPhone and iCloud

    You can use 1 unified Apple ID for iTunes so you don't have to repurchase apps.   That part is fine.
    For iCLoud/iMessage/Facetime you should each have a unique ID so the 2 phones will be separate and you won't accidentally erase each other's content and overwrite settings, nor will you get the others messaages by mistake.

    Older iPads got 3G service and were called Wi-Fi + 3G. Newer iPads can connect to faster cellular networks and those are given different names by the major carrier so to simplify things Apple calls the newer models Wi-Fi + Cellular.
    iPads with 3G or Cellular are NOT used like a mobile phone. They do not make phone calls or send SMS or MMS text messages, They do connect to the data network and can connect to the web.

  • Can any please explain the integration business process between PS and CS

    Dear Guru's
    Can any please explain the integration business process between Project systems (PS) and customer service (CS).
    Business Process: We do machinery Erection or commissioning, later we do provide service warranty for one year.
    How we map this Business scenario in sap.
    Regards,
    Bhanu

    basic steps for such a process would be
    1) Use PS functionality for your machinery erection or commisioning work. Once the physical work is completed then close porject
    2) Use CS functionality for warranty and service - set up the work as a functional location on customer site (PM/CS functionality)
    3) Use service order to manage any service calls on the object which could require billing via SD module - bill value may be zero if under warranty

  • About the import statement

    Hi, im trying to use NumberFormat to format a double variable.
    How do i know if i need to use the "import java.someclass" statement or not? thanks for reading.

    NumberFormat is in the java.text package, so you either have to import it via:
    import java.text.NumberFormat;
    or
    import java.text.*;
    or else everywhere you use it fully qualify it as java.text.NumberFormat
