I replaced the title question with something that actually had some relevance to the question you actually asked. In the future, *please* make sure the title and what you ask have some relationship. — Ira Baxter, May 02 '12 at 10:15

As your tag says, you are using Eclipse , you can use CTRL + SHIFT + F to indent the code.

Moreover as you are asking about replacing fully qualified name to import statement then no such thing exists in Eclipse as of now. ( Correct me if I am wrong ).

But you can still select the fully qualified name and press CTRL + SHIFT + M to import the class.

Rakesh Juyal. Thank you for your answer. But i want to have the same results that CTRL + SHIFT + F and CTRL + SHIFT + M automatically. Because the java source code generated automatically. So the source java files will be regenerated from begin in each small changes. SO it is not possible to do CTRL + SHIFT + M for all java source files generated. i want to do that automatically.

You can select a project/folder/package in Package Explorer and format all the contents in one go using Source > Format (Ctrl+Shift+F). Or you can also configure a Clean up or a Save Action.
