Some coders on JDOM (who haven't been active in a while) liked to use
FQCN's on the import statement.  

import java.util.List;

So the build was designed to alter those imports.  I prefer wildcard
imports, so over time we don't have FQCN's in the import lines much
anymore, and lots of the replace rules act as no-ops.

OK, I'll add that to the FAQ queue.  FAQQ?
