(Using 3.1M6)

The (extremely useful) warning of "The import xxx is never used" doesn't take
into account the fact that imports can be of use to JavaDoc.

Hitting "organize imports" usually removes errors to do with unnecessary
imports, but it apparently understands that the imports *are* used, because it
doesn't remove them.

Are you sure that you have set compiler options to process javadoc comments?
If so, can you make a try with a more recent build (3.1 RC2 would be perfect).
If this issue still occurs, then please provide a test case.

Unable to reproduce on 3.1RC2 with the same file, so it looks like this has been
fixed. Sorry for the false alarm.

I don't think it's a false alarm, only a duplicate.
Thanks for the feedback
