Assume i got a Class

   package test.api;
   import test.tools.JSONBuilder;
   interface Test {
       /**
        * Returns a String created by {@link JSONBuilder}.
        */
       String createJSONString();
   }

A Checkstyle-Warning occour the Import is unused. Well, i know what you think: "I dont give a <bad word> on Checkstyle". I Think a import just because of javadoc is ugly.

But checkstyle is more right i think. He goes fine with this Source:

   package test.api;
   interface Test {
       /**
        * Returns a String created by {@link test.tools.JSONBuilder}.
        */
       String createJSONString();
   }

This should just be in case when the class usage is limited to javadoc.

This is similar to Bug 30372. 

Problem: To support downgrade this should be flaged on and off but the Organize-Imports-Preferencepage is very compact. Maybe a Checkbox right under "Do not create imports for types starting with a lowercase letter"....
