Adding required import statements

The Java editor can help you adding required import statements for a selected type inside a compilation unit.

1. Select a reference to a type in your Java code, and do one of the following:

   • Select Source > Add Import from the pop-up menu in the editor

   • Select Source > Add Import from the menu bar.

   • Press Ctrl + Shift + M

2. Either the editor can identify the type or you are prompted to choose the desired type from a list of possible types.

3. The import statement is generated and inserted as specified by the import order preference.
