More than half of the users in our FFJ user test noticed that there is no mechanism to add import statements to the code other than typing them directly in the editor *after* you have gone through the new class wizard. If you could specify the java packages for your import statements near the beginning of the wizard, then perhaps you could browse for class names in other areas of the wizard. This way you don't have to remember lots of class names and you can complete your class entirely within the class wizard. There is also no mechanism to add an import statement to a java file from the explorer window. It should use a similar interaction as adding a method or a field.
Yes, it is already being worked on. We are preparing an "Import management tool" for the next release that would help users import identifiers widely used in their sources. I was thinking about adding a page in the java wizard, too.
