How programmatically remove default import in Groovy?

Question

By default some packages are imported in a Groovy class. I know that you can add new one with an ImportCustomizer but is there a way to remove them programmatically?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

No. If you look through the code, then you'll see that the standard imports like java.io and java.math.BigDecimal are not handled by ImportCustomizer.

Which is a pity.

The default imports are handled in ResolveVisitor.java. The code doesn't allow to modify the default imports or the method where they are added.

Kudos to andrei-krotkov for finding the code.

Answer 2

It is not a pretty good solution but it works:

Arrays.fill(ResolveVisitor.DEFAULT_IMPORTS, "java.lang.");
