It's not silly at all. I suggest that we add some checkstyle rules for
enforcing our convention as well.
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_imports.html
I like AvoidStarImport, RedundantImport, UnusedImports, and (most
related to this question) ImportOrder.
Any thoughts?

Hi all,
Kind of a silly concern, but nevertheless:
IntelliJ IDEA does a great job at optimizing imports for you. While doing so,
it also insists in reorganizing them following some logic.
Since it's not nice to have a patch dirtied by imports reordering every time a
different person touches a class, it could be a good idea to come up with a
convention and configure our IDEs accordingly.
Example (blank lines matter):
org.apache.giraph.*
org.*
com.*
javax.*
java.*
Or any variation you prefer.
If there is agreement we can update the code conventions.
