How to optimize imports automatically after each save in IntelliJ IDEA
In version 'Ultimate 2016.2' it is:
File > Other Settings > Default Settings > Auto Import > Optimize imports on the fly
IntelliJ IDEA offers an option to Optimize imports on the fly in Settings
| Editor
| General
| Auto Import
and Optimize imports option in the Commit Project
dialog.
The mentioned answer works, but there is also the Intellij "save actions" plugin available from the JetBrains plugin repository that does that (as well as other things): Intellij Save Actions Plugin.
Installation
File > Settings > Plugins > Browse repositories... > Search 'Save Actions' > Category 'Code tools'
