Default imports ? #124

Open albert-kam opened 4 years ago

albert-kam commented 4 years ago

I would like to import these into all of my templates without having to declare them manually.

@import com.fizzed.rocker.*
@import java.util.*
@import etc.*

And the list could grow overtime.

It would be nice to be a part of the options in rocker-compiler.conf, something like:

default.imports=com.fizzed.rocker.*, java.util.*

@albert-kam Another suggestion I had thought of as well when originally working on Rocker. I ended up not doing this since Java doesn't do it. However, I certainly could be persuaded the other way, that default imports are a good idea. If you were interested n a PR that implemented this, I'd be open to evaluating it!

My guess is that the problem is the lack of IDE integration. If the IDE was able to resolve and automatically add imports, it wouldn't be a problem, but since no one in the community with knowledge on how to maintain an IDE plugin has stepped up, people are looking for stop-gap solutions.
