public class AvoidStarImportCheck extends Check
Check that finds import statements that use the * notation.
Rationale: Importing all classes from a package leads to tight coupling between packages and might lead to problems when a new version of a library introduces name clashes.
An example of how to configure the check is:
<module name="AvoidStarImport"> <property name="excludes" value="java.io,java.net"/> </module>The optional "excludes" property allows for certain packages like java.io or java.net to be exempted from the rule. Note that the excludes property is not recursive, subpackages of excluded packages are not automatically excluded. Compatible with Java 1.5 source.
Version: 1.0
