Java's ``++import++`` mechanism allows the use of simple class names. Therefore, using a class' fully qualified name in a file that ``++import++``s the class is redundant and confusing.


== Noncompliant Code Example

----
import java.util.List;
import java.sql.Timestamp;

//...

java.util.List<String> myList;  // Noncompliant
java.sql.Timestamp tStamp; // Noncompliant
----


== Compliant Solution

----
import java.util.List;
import java.sql.Timestamp;

//...

List<String> myList;
Timestamp tStamp;
----
