Re: Eclipse question re dependencies

the accumulated imports and remove duplicates....

Lest you think RGB is splitting hairs, this comes up quite often in real code.
For example, code that interacts with JDBC will often use both
'java.util.Date' and 'java.sql.Date' in the same class. Only one of those can
be imported.
IDEs like Eclipse and NetBeans do dependency analysis - that's how they know
where to show you the errors. Perhaps you can review their source to see how
they do it.
I am not familiar with Java's Java compiler API, but I speculate that it might
have some useful features for your problem.
