Inspectopedia Help

Unnecessary import from the 'java.lang' package

Reports import statements that refer to the java.lang package.

java.lang classes are always implicitly imported, so such import statements are redundant and confusing.

Since IntelliJ IDEA can automatically detect and fix such statements with its Optimize Imports command, this inspection is mostly useful for offline reporting on code bases that you don't intend to change.
