Description J. Christopher Bare

I use the editor template mechanism to add common boiler-plate lines of code like creating log4j loggers, for example:

	private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(TestData.class);

The problem is, I still have to do an additional step to import org.apache.log4j.Logger. (Down with java.util.Logger!)

It would be cool if templates could be assigned imports that would get automagicly added if not present. Thanks!

This works in R3.4 (see import and importStatic variables).
