All Implemented Interfaces:

public class RedundantImportCheck
extends Check

Checks for imports that are redundant. An import statement is considered redundant if:

• It is a duplicate of another import. This is, when a class is imported more than once.
• The class non-statically imported is from the java.lang package. For example importing java.lang.String.
• The class non-statically imported is from the same package as the current package.

An example of how to configure the check is:

 <module name="RedundantImport"/>
 

Compatible with Java 1.5 source.
