Description randahl 2006-11-09 15:27:49 UTC
Half of the times when I build and get a compilation error it can be fixed by
clicking Alt+Shift+F to invoke the "Fix imports" tool. Fixing imports takes less
than a second whereas building takes much longer. Consequently my daily work
looks like this:

1. start the build process and then wait 20 seconds and get a trivial
compilation error 
2. fix it in 1 second using "Fix imports"
3. start the build process and wait an additional 20 seconds

This allows me to build the application in 41 seconds. Now if NetBeans invoked
"Fix imports" automatically I would always spend an additional second for fixing
imports but I would also quite often safe 20 seconds for rebuilding. That is my
suggestion.

Reassigning to "java".

Could be an action for "save actions". Linked 14202 to this.
