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
List<String> myList;
Timestamp tStamp;
