Hey @XuPengfei-1020,
You can read more about this config in extension's README:

jdk.java.imports.groups has default value as given below.

[
  "java",
  "javax",
  "org",
  "com",
  ""
]

You can modify this in the user settings level or at the workspace level as shown in the README.

Please let us know if there are any further queries. We would love to help you out.

@Achal1607 Thanks for your reply!
I want to know hwo to specify static imports, is there a way to specify a group that present import static ....?
What the final order result I want is like this:

import com...
import io...
// empty line
import javax...
// empty line
import java...
// empty line
import static ....

This rule in my project is enforced by others and I can not changing, so I need a import order config to according it.

I have the same question. I'd like to order the imports the same way as IntelilJ because other members of my team use it. With the Java extension from Red Hat it's possible to achieve with this configuration:

    "java.completion.importOrder": [
        "",
        "javax",
        "java",
        "#"
    ],

I confirm that with the Red Hat extension it is working, but I had other issues with that extension and I'd like to use the Oracle one.
Is there a way to group the static imports together at the beginning or the end? This is a very big limitation imo

Hi @XuPengfei-1020, @szolotarev-scaleapps, @ccontino84.

You may use the group value "static *" in order to group all the static imports together.

For example, to place all the static imports after the other imports, you may set:

    "jdk.java.imports.groups": [
        "java",
        "javax",
        "org",
        "com",
        "",
        "static *"
    ]

In case you wish to have static imports of a particular package root, say "com.mycompany.myteam", together with other imports from the same root, you may use:

    "jdk.java.imports.groups": [
        "com.mycompany.myteam",
        "static com.mycompany.myteam",
        "java",
        "javax",
        "org",
        "com",
        "",
        "static *"
    ]

I hope this helps you easily achieve the common formatting standards of your team, and more.
Let us know, thanks.
