Description olhemann 2008-12-13 23:06:24 UTC 
When you cut/copy some code from a file and paste it into another, it would be VERY nice if the import statements were
also included.
Comment 1 Petr Dvorak 2008-12-14 15:36:55 UTC 
This issue is not really a defect, as copy/paste actions aren't supposed to do anything like this, it is more an
enhancement. I think the priority is very low though. You can simply invoke "Fix Imports" action by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+I, which will add new imports and remove unused imports...
