RE: [jdt-core-dev] Concern about removal of unused import preferences
|
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.

Marco,
I see what you are getting at, but I can't even be guaranteed there are no
invalid imports in this code. The joys of dealing with code from somewhere
else. I guess my only concern is that Eclipse can compile anything that
javac can compile. If javac can't compile the same statements, then we
should be fine.
Thanks,
Craig

I blinked at this one too for a second, Craig, but quickly focused on
"INVALID". Not unused, invalid. :-)
