12/20 Any *runtime* reason why include java.stuff.here may be better than
include java.stuff.* ???
\_ None. The bytecode is the same. It's just a matter of good style.
\_ the first way limits the number of things that are available in
the namespace to just the contents of java.stuff.here, some people
like this better since it force the programmer to understand the
effect of imports. In the old days importing a single file was
slightly faster than importing all of the entries in a directory,
so some old timers stick with method 1. |
