How to prevent IntelliJ IDEA from deleting unused packages?
I'm working with intelliJ and my problem is when I start to import some temporary unused packages into my class file intellij delete those line within a second.
how can I turn off this not so nice feature?
Disable File | Settings
| Editor
| General
| Auto Import
| Optimize imports on the fly.
Normally you don't need to add imports manually, IDEA does it for you.
For Scala developers: you can have enabled Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import > Optimize imports on the fly
but add exclusions into
Settings > Editor > Code Style > Scala > Imports always marked as used:
In Intellij 14 :
Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import > Optimize imports on the fly.
(Update) For the Scala developers out there, you can have 1/2 the cake and eat the other 1/2 now: disable the auto-optimize for just scala
