Question

In Eclipse once I put a library on the class path, I can use its classes and then right click on the Class name and Eclipse gives suggestions of various classes with matching names that can be imported.

I wish to do a similar thing in NetBeans, so I mouseover or select the classname and click alt+enter as is suggested. But the only options are for creating the class within the application. The library is opencsv – which I have used without trouble in Eclipse (but I want to try NetBeans).

This is my code (I want to import the classes for CSVReader and FileReader) … but it just gives me the option to create my own):

CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader("yourfile.csv"));
    String [] nextLine;
    while ((nextLine = reader.readNext()) != null) {
        // nextLine[] is an array of values from the line
        System.out.println(nextLine[0] + nextLine[1] + "etc...");
}

I don’t want to have to manually write import statements … I this what NetBeans expects?

You have to use the menu option “Source -> Fix imports” it will generate all missing imports for your
