On the java import statement:

When you've imported a class from a package, you can refer to the class by name without prefixing said name with the package name. Note that if you import two classes with identical names, the one you import last has precedence.

So, if you

Code:

import javax.swing.foo;

you can say

Code:

foo

instead of

Code:

javax.swing.foo

`*' means `all names'.
