[ BUILD # : 200509221800 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_04 ] it would be nice if hints show you unused import statements. I know this feature many other IDE.
I think this was asked some time ago in issue #35618, but the issue was marked as resolved with an unclear comment about fix imports.
Described functionality exists in NB 6 - unused imports are colored differently and there is a hint to remove one or all, as well as an option to remove them as part of the Fix Imports action.
