Since NetBeans 7.3 Beta2, the 'Organize Imports' Java hint is disabled by default. It should be automatically enabled on fresh installs.

I am sorry, but I would like to hear some reasons why it should be enabled by default. I think the reason to disable it (Dusan, please correct me) is that for many users the warning does not provide enough value for the UI clutter it introduces. In 7.2, IIRC, the organize imports could only be invoked through Inspect&Transform and through the warning in the editor. In 7.3, the imports can also be organized using the main menu action Source/Organize Imports, or by enabling it on save. Both of these make it easier to use the feature when needed, so producing the warning by default is feels as less important.
This is as designed behavior since the main menu action Source/Organize Imports has been introduced.
It was activated by default in NB 7.2.1, that's why I was a bit confused. Thank you all for the information!
