Well, Based on your feedback, the easiest and probably best solution is to keep the default for Eclipse (so, no need for a special config file) and to configure IntelliJ code style (it is the same file for all) to do the

as Eclipse, which will avoid confusion: import java.* import javax.* import org.* import com.* This choice already have a +1 from Marius, a +1 from Sergiu and here is

+1. I do not think we need long discussion on this, just an agreement, please could you cast your vote on this.
