Compile and JavaDoc are different things. javac doesn't care for what is places inside comments (as long as it's a valid UTF-8 character).
Importing something translates to "I need this to do my work". Clearly a class doesn't need an exception it is not catching and only importing we documentation. I guess it's the same reason why you don't import java.util.* Maybe a matter of aesthetics, I don't know :-) 2014-07-16 20:18 GMT+02:00 Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com>: > Compile time and Javadoc time is the same thing IMO.
