It would be nice if Eclipse had a way to removed fully qualified class names 
from a source file by turning them into fully qualified import statements 
instead. Fully qualified class names littered throughout the souce have a way of 
making the source code look busy and unreadable IMO. Below you will find a 
before are after scenario. You may be thinking people don't code this way; let 
me assure you that they do and they've written millions of lines of code thats 
just asking for this feature to be added to Eclipse.




======================== BEFORE =================================


public void foo()


{


    javax.swing.Label label = new javax.swing.Label("Bar");


    label.setText(new java.lang.String("blah"));


    javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel model = 


        new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel();


}


======================== AFTER =================================


import javax.swing.Label;


import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;




public void foo()


{


    Label label = new Label("Bar");


    label.setText(new String("blah"));


    DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel();


}
