Prevent eclipse from putting static imports on top

Question

Is there anyway I can stop eclipse from moving static imports to the top? We have code that doesn't have static imports on top and every time i hit organize imports it causes a long diff in the code.

Answer 1

You can define the preferred sort order in the "Organize Imports" preferences. This tab also allows you to specify where you want specific static imports.

If you want Eclipse to not change the order of imports at all, then you must never use "Organize Imports." Use "Remove Unused Imports" instead.
