eclipse 2.1

[Malcolm]

Hi, All!

I'm wondering if it's possible to set Eclipse in a way it doesn't
organize imports at all. I want to have full names of all the classes
including the paths to the packages.

I would appreciate an advise.

Best regards, Yevgen Malafeyev AKA Malcolm.

You can set it to do that while it's doing its tidying ;-)

It will sometimes turn things into import ... .* when doing
certain refactorings, though - there's no way to turn that off.

You could avoid tidying imports - but that would be failing
to take advantage of an extremely useful feature.

There's a setting on the properties page that tells it how
many imports must come from the same package path before the
* is substituted. Set it to a high number like 100.

You wouldn't believe the arguments I've had with them silly asterisk people.
It's a good thing that java doesn't match wildcards to all subpackages or
such folk would be using:

import *;

Lazy bastards...

Well personally, I was a lazy bastard myself until Eclipse started doing
all the work for me...

Always wondered what's wrong with using wildcards anyway...

Might have been a bit slower at one time (the compiler that is, not the
runtime), but no more.

More probably, we're still lazy bastards, but Eclipse is hiding it from
the rest of the world ;-)

Well, after I wrote "Lazy bastards", I realized that sometimes that is a
great attribute. For example, for years I was designing thread /safe/
singleton code similar the following pseudo:

class Thang
{
private Thang() { ...mumble...}
public static getInstance() { return instance; }
...
private static instance = new Thang();
}

....simply because I was far too lazy to write the following (thread
/UN/safe) code:

public static getInstance()
{
if (instance == null)
instance = new Thang();
return instance;
}

Sometimes lazy bastards rule...

I ment I need not to see "import" in my code at all. It's a prohibited
operator for me... So can I switch off such feature in Eclipse. I guess
not. :-(

Window..Preferences...Java...Editor...Code Assist.

Uncheck the 'Automatically add import instead of qualified name' option.

: I'm begining to wonder if I should avoid using Eclipse for the same reason I
: don't use phone number memory in my cell phone. I don't want to forget how
: to get by /without/ it.

Much the same argument can be used against almost any tool.

The problem with following such advice is that then you don't
get to enjoy the benefits the tools bring.

The argument has most force if the tool is likely to be taken
away - or sometimes prove to be ususable.

Yep. In the case of phones, I just saw too many friends away from their
phone# storages trying futilely to remember phone numbers. I dial
everything out by hand.

As far as eclipse goes, I'm still warming up to its idiosyncrasies.
