IntelliJ Never use wildcard imports

Question

Is there a way to tell IntelliJ never to use wildcard imports? Under 'Settings > Code Style > Imports', I can see that you can specify the 'class count' prior to IntelliJ using wildcard imports. However, if I never want to use wildcard imports can I turn this functionality off?

I have tried putting -1 or leaving the field blank but that just tells IntelliJ to always use wildcard imports. Obviously a not-so-nice solution would be to put a ridiculously high number so that you never encounter wildcard imports but I was hoping there was a nicer way to just turn it off.

It s obvious why you d want to disable this  To force IntelliJ to include each and every import individually  It makes it easier for people to figure out exactly where classes you re using come from   Click on the Settings  wrench  icon on the toolbar  open  Imports  under  Code Style   and check the  Use single class import  selection   You can also completely remove entries under  Packages to use import with     or specify a threshold value that only uses the     when the individual classes from a package exceeds that threshold   Update  in IDEA 13  Use single class import  does not prevent wildcard imports  The solution is to go to Preferences        on macOS   Ctrl   Alt   S on Windows and Linux   gt  Editor  gt  Code Style  gt  Java  gt  Imports tab set Class count to use import with     and Names count to use static import with     to a higher value  Any value over 99 seems to work fine

Like a dum-dum I couldn t figure out why none of these answers were working for my Kotlin files for java util    so if this is happening to you then   Preferences  gt  Editor  gt  Code Style  gt    Kotlin    gt  Imports  gt  Packages to Use Import with     - gt  Remove  java util
