import statement

The import statement is used to express a dependency on a type defined in another package.

Usage

The import statement has several variations.

Importing a single class:

import com.example.metasyntax {Foo}
import math { sqr, sqrt, e, pi }

Importing several classes:

import com.example.metasyntax {Foo, Bar}

Importing several all classes in a package (a wildcard import):

import com.example.metasyntax {...}

Assigning a different name to an imported type (to avoid a name conflict):

import com.example.metasyntax { ExampleFoo=>Foo, Bar}

Note: Import statements should not end with a semicolon.

Description

Modules and versions

The import declarations in the module descriptor are used to determine which version of which module is required for compilation and execution.

Execution

Import statements do not affect execution.

Advice

Use of wildcard imports (import com.example.metasyntax {...}) is discouraged, since it makes it harder to determine which package a particular type name in the source code is referring to.
