Description Dani Megert CLA 2009-02-06 03:42:09 EST 
I2009020203-1200.

If I paste the following source.

import java.util.List;
public class A {
	List l;
}

import java.util.List;
public class B {
	List l;
}

I get:

A.java with:
import java.util.List;
public class A {
	List l;
}
import java.util.List;

and B.java with:
public class B {
	List l;
}

We should be smarter and add imports above a public class to that CU.

It works if there's a package declaration before the imports.
No plans to invest more into this.

Fair enough, though snippets attached to bugs are often as simple as possible.
