It used to do that, I have no idea why it's not working any more.

This is an ancient issue, but if google led me here, then so might it for others:

Somehow, my Netbeans 6.5 had a property set to disable auto-fix of unused imports. I couldn't find a property setting to
set or unset this in the GUI.  But, my config preferences contained the following:

$ cat
~/.netbeans/6.5/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/java/editor/org.netbeans.modules.java.editor.imports.JavaFixAllImports.properties
#Tue Feb 24 14:22:47 PST 2009
removeUnusedImports=false


By just commentting out this property (or perhaps deleting the file), my "fix imports" (aka ctrl+I) worked once again to
removed unused imports.   

No idea what broke it in the first place (i.e., by setting this property), but now it's back to normal, business as usual.

Hope it helps any other googlers out there who come across this.

thx,
