I guess anyone who developed any Java- or Android-Programs with Eclipse has faced the unused imports warning at leat once.
Although I always remove those unused imports before releasing my program/app I'd like to know if there is any real disadvantage when not removing the unused imports.
Basically an import-statement just saves the programmer some typing and maintains readability of the code. The only downsite I can see is that you might 'pollute' your programs namespace with many unused static members.
Any other downsides I might have missed?
