Java import order preference

[gaben]

This is a long standing question of mine. What is the import order preference?

There are:

• static imports
• java.*
• javax.*
• org.openstreetmap.*
• jakarta.*
• org.apache.commons.*
• other utility classes mostly in tests

So which order do you prefer? It's a mixed bag currently.

Once we settle on something, I'd like to document it on the DevelopersGuide/StyleGuide. Reason is that, every time I create a new dev env, I forgot what was the import order setting.
