RE: [jdt-core-dev] Concern about removal of unused import preferences
|
Thanks for the prompt response on this. Our official build process uses javac, so given this clarification I'm no longer worried. As a former VAJ user, I was concerned I wasn't going to be able to continue to use my favorite tool!
Thanks again,
Craig

Craig,
I confirm that javac will reject invalid imports, and I Marco said there is
no way to change this behavior with javac. So if your code compiles with
javac, it should compile with Eclipse/JDT (unless we have a bug of course :
-)
The reason for this option was to ease the transition for VA/Java users.
The VA/Jave compiler wrongly accepted invalid imports. However we realized
later that reporting an invalid import as a warning or ignoring it was
against the Java language specification. So this is why this option is now
removed.
