IntelliJ Organize Imports

Does IntelliJ have an Organize Imports feature similar to that in Eclipse? What I have is a Java file with multiple classes missing their imports. Example:

package com.test;
public class Foo {
    public Map map;
    public JTable table;
}

In Eclipse I could use Organize Imports and it would automatically import both java.util.Map and javax.swing.JTable. In IntelliJ I have to individually go to each class, select it, then press Alt-Enter. There is an Optimize Imports feature but all it seems to do is sort and expand the existing imports.

I'm using IntelliJ 10.5.

Ctrl + Alt + O (Code → Optimize Imports...) is what you're looking for, both on Windows/Linux and macOS keymaps.

It says "Optimize", but, if configured to do so, it will also:

  • organize existing imports
  • remove unneeded imports
  • add new required imports
  • add unambiguous imports on the fly

You can tune the auto-import settings under "Settings → Editor → General → Auto Import" as described by Dave.

You can also modify how the imports are auto-ordered under "Settings → Editor → Code Style → Java → Imports"
