wildcard imports are not expanded

[ash-owl]

Running java -jar google-java-format-1.2-all-deps.jar Test.java where Test.java contains

import java.util.*;

class Test {
  List a;
}

results in the following output:

import java.util.*;

class Test {
  List a;
}

but the expected output is:

import java.util.List;

class Test {
  List a;
}

This is out of scope for a source code formatter. Note it would require access to your entire compilation classpath to work correctly.

Fair enough, but are the unenforceable rules of https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html documented anywhere? For example checkstyle has this: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/google_style.html

Hi @kevinb9n,
your comment contradicts the project documentation.

This is out of scope for a source code formatter. Note it would require access to your entire compilation classpath to work correctly.

Documentation says that this plugin takes care of code formatting and import optimization:

When enabled, it will replace the normal Reformat Code and Optimize Imports actions.

So I would assume that imports are handled correctly according to the Google Code Style.

Regars, Roman

Oh, so this is why it breaks IntelliJ’s default import optimization, which would take care of this properly!
