Shortcut to get rid of full class names

Question

I have a lot of lines of code that are similar to this:

objectListPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
roomNameField = new javax.swing.JTextField();
rightPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
jTabbedPane = new javax.swing.JTabbedPane();
enterScriptPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel();

in that they all use the "Fully Qualified Name" for a class. Is there a way to quickly fix all of these to just use the class name?

objectListPanel = new JPanel();
roomNameField = new JTextField();
rightPanel = new JPanel();
jTabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
enterScriptPanel = new JPanel();

If there are multiple files with different import then replace all fully qualified values using regex them manually import it using shortcuts. — Braj, Jul 11 '14 at 21:08

Find new javax.swing. and replace with new and then import it in the class.

Use Ctrl + Shift + O keyboard shortcuts to organize imports automatically.

can you use an import? try placing the below line at the top of your java file.

import javax.swing.*;

@Braj I'd agree in the case of an IDE, though if you do CL java, it becomes a lifesaver sometimes. – Rogue Jul 11 '14 at 21:04
he says he has "a lot of lines". My cut off before a wildcard import is about 15. Eclipse's organize imports merges to a wildcard at 99. – Andreas Jul 11 '14 at 21:04
