[jdom-interest] help please

[Paul Jakubik]

Due to the way Java works, there is no magic to be
able to avoid an import statement. You would have to
go and edit the source code of all the JDOM classes so
they wouldn't be in a package anymore.

This would be a bad idea since JDOM uses generic names
like Document and Element.

An option that reduces the number of imports is to do
something like the following:

import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;
import org.jdom.adapters.*;

If you do that, you'll be able to use every JDOM class
without any additional imports. Of course, it won't be
obvious from your imports what classes you are using
from JDOM, and if you use this same style to import
from other libraries people reading your code will
have no idea which classes come from JDOM and which
come from somewhere else.
