No more unnecessary imports, no more import on demand - just good old single
type imports. And
they're sorted, too!
You can download ImportScrubber, check out a screenshot, see how to use
ImportScrubber's Ant task, or read about Importscrubber's
current limitations. If you've installed Java Web Start, you can run
ImportScrubber as a JNLP application. You can also mosey over to the Jakarta web
site where parts of ImportScrubber are being
using in Maven.
Thanks to Sourceforge
for hosting this project. Thanks to Poolmart for letting me use a picture of one of their scrub
brushes. Thanks to Markus Dahm, writer of BCEL, which I use for parsing class files.
