Unused import

Reports redundant import statements.

Regular import statements are unnecessary when not using imported classes and packages in the source file. The same applies to imported static fields and methods that aren't used in the source file.

Example:

  import java.util.ArrayList;
  public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
  }

After the quick fix is applied:

  public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
  }
