    <p>The "wildcard" imports in Java only work to the immediate level at which classes are implemented.</p> <p>That is, if you have classes <code>A</code>, <code>B</code> and <code>C</code>, with fully qualified names:</p> <ul> <li><code>com.foo.bar.A</code>;</li> <li><code>com.foo.bar.B</code>;</li> <li><code>com.foo.C</code>;</li> </ul> <p>then importing <code>com.foo.bar.*</code> will allow access to <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> without further ado; but <code>C</code> will NOT be available.</p> <p>In the same vein, importing <code>com.foo.*</code> will readily have <code>C</code> available, but not <code>A</code> and <code>B</code>.</p> <p>Now:</p> <blockquote> <p>I thought that if you included a class, like in the last two example, that you effectively imported that class and inherited all of its subclasses.</p> </blockquote> <p>It does not. Even if <code>B</code> "inherits" <code>A</code>, if you choose to use the fully qualified import <code>com.foo.bar.A</code>, it WILL NOT automatically import <code>com.foo.bar.B</code>. You'll have to import <code>B</code> separately. Which makes sense: nothing forces implementations of an interface or abstract class to be in the same package as their base interface/base class, for one; and in the same project, you may have two classes named <code>B</code>, in different packages: what should the compiler do?</p> <p>Now, according to coding style conventions, which you either make up for yourself or have to obey in your work environment, such wildcard imports may be purely and simply forbidden, and you'll have to import <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> separately. As to static imports, they have other problems...</p> <p>Finally, note that by default, you can use all of <code>java.lang.*</code> without having to declare an import.</p>

    1. COI see. Thank you. Anyway to import in the sense I was describing?

    2. COOK, I see. If, here, B extends A, then `import com.foo.bar.A;` will NOT give you access to B. You'll have to import B separately. Which makes sense: nothing forces implementations of an interface or abstract class to be in the same package as their base interface/base class (fortunately!) (edited answer accordingly)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
