Setting the order of import statements

1. From the menu bar, select Window > Preferences.

2. In the left pane, expand the Java category and select Organize Imports.

3. The Organize Imports page defines the sorting order of import statements. In the Imports list, manage the list of package prefixes as follows:

   • New to add a new prefix

   • Edit to change the name of an existing prefix

   • Use Up and Down buttons to rearrange the sequence of the list by moving the selected prefix up or down

   • Remove to remove the selected prefix from the list

   • Use Load... and Save... to load a list of prefixes from a file or to store it to a file

4. In the Number of imports needed before .* field, type the number of import statements that are allowed to refer to the same package before <package prefix>.* is used. This number is called the import threshold.

5. Click OK when you are done.
