You are right..I guess it was a combination of both.

Interesting point though, I always tried to find out why some people do
this (explicit imports) and this is the first time I hear about the
(definitely valid!) dependency tracking idea..guess I need to think more
about that. Some people think that importing a full package somehow 'makes
the JAR bigger' like e.g. with C, which is of course nonsense. I guess for
editing new code it's just commonly easier because you don't have to
constantly rearrange your imports. Also keeps the source shorter, no point
in importing 20 lines of java.util when that's all you're using. Guess I
really have to force myself to CMD-Shift-O more.

I can just revert the imports again if you prefer to; no problem. I got
plenty of time at the moment..and after all there's this saying by A.
Einstein: "Be consistent or be inconsistent, but don't be both!" ;-)
