Question

Is there a way , a shortcut or any setting which removes unused import from all projects ? effectively from workspace?

I found following question which states about removing from single file. How to remove unused imports from Eclipse.

Also remember that you can add this as an save action. Then this will be performed everytime you save a file. Search for "save action" in preferences. – Sensible

Key combination Ctrl+ Shift + O - will trigger the Organize Imports that will remove and add missing imports.

To apply it on whole workspace you just have to select the project in the view Package Explorer and then use the key combination

It is for single file only. – Leonleona

It can be applied to entire projects too, or you can right click on a project and select it from the 'Source' menu. – Everetteeverglade

@PriyankDoshi, This works on selected item view. If it is editor then it is single class if it is Package Explorer then it work on selected items. – Oraleeoralia

@Keerthivasan: yes. But in Java EE, it is Project Explorer not Package Explorer :) – Haily

Actually only works for me when selecting all packages within project. Selecting project itself does not work, ecl oxygen – Xiaoximena

Answer 2

Right click your working set node, or all projects that you need and select Source->Organize Imports.

Shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+O, it is basically written in the menu so if you are using a different OS, you should be able to find it. It works on single files as well as project nodes in the Package Explorer

As said, Ctrl+ Shift + O to do it manually or Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions -> Organize Imports to have it organized automatically whenever you save a class.
