Actually, eclipse (well, at least 2.1, which I'm using) is quite happy to
deal with wildcarded import statements.  It *will* automatically create a
single class specific import statement for you if the class is in your
CLASSPATH and it's not in one of the already imported classes, but I
believe that's the only case.

What it does do is to warn you if you've imported a package, but haven't
used any of the classes in that package.  I like it.  Helps to keep the
code cleaner.  IMHO, of course.
