Description
Reports import statements that import a class from the same package as the current file. Such imports are redundant.
Rationale
The Java compiler automatically makes all classes in the same package visible without an explicit import. Importing a same-package class is legal but redundant: it adds clutter to the import section and can mislead readers into thinking the class belongs to a different package.
package com.example.service;
// Bad — same-package import is redundant
import com.example.service.Helper;
// Good — different-package import is necessary
import com.example.model.User;Remediation
Remove the redundant import statement. The class is already accessible because it resides in the same package.
