Re: [cdt-dev] Using '*' for java imports

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxx>]

I always do an Organize Imports when I edit a file. My experience is that gets rid of the '*'s. So if it's a file I'm editing, the *'s won't last long.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Using '*' for java imports

Marc told me (on review) that we don't using '*' for imports, I checked our code
style and it is not documented anywhere https://wiki.eclips​e.org/CDT/policy#Cod​e_Formatting

It does say though that we use default Eclipse formatting. By default eclipse folds imports into * if you have more then 99 imports (that was the case I had). Unless it is really needed I would not

be a fan of changing eclipse defaults, i.e. we should allow fold imports if more than 99.

Anybody have strong objections to do otherwise?
