Configure Intellij to use default Eclipse Java import layout

Eclipse and Intellij use different default layouts of Java imports. If used on the same project, Eclipse’s “Organize Imports” will compete with Intellij’s “Optimize Imports“.

To avoid distracting back-and-forth code changes, Intellij can be configured to match the default Eclipse behavior:

Go to File – Settings – Editor – Code Style – Java – Imports tab

Prevent on-demand imports (i.e. wildcards) by settings high count limits:
intellij-java-imports-no-wildcards

Define the imports layout (i.e. grouping and order) like this:
intellij-java-imports-layout
