Description ahe 2005-10-07 10:15:06 UTC 
Fix imports doesn't remove misspelled or missing
types.  For example:


import java.lang.Translucent;

public class Test {}
Comment 1 Jan Becicka 2005-10-07 13:41:31 UTC 
Dane, please take a look at it.
Comment 2 Daniel Prusa 2005-10-14 09:25:30 UTC 
We do not remove missing types intensionally. This behaviour was introduced by
fix of issue 63366 - see the reasons given there.
Comment 3 ahe 2005-10-14 09:56:09 UTC 
Please reconsider.  This might be a matter of creating
the right UI: a dialog could pop up and ask what to do.
Comment 4 Daniel Prusa 2005-10-14 10:29:00 UTC 
Ok, there could be some ui or options handling this situation.

Comment 6 matthies 2009-08-06 22:45:25 UTC 
Bumping this issue.
I also came across a case like this:

    import java.text.*;
    import java.util.Format;
    
    public class Test
    {
        Format f;
    }

Here the usage of "Format" is not highlighted as an error, although java.util.Format doesn not exist. In any case, it 
would be helpful if Fix Imports would remove the faulty import even in a case such as this one.
