Why you should care
A static or unqualified report is found in the JSP which is analogous to normal import declaration. The report is unqualified after adding a star(*) at the end of the import statement.
However the issue with the unqualified report is that they make one’s program unreadable impacting all the members that are imported as well. All static or unqualified members from a class can be particularly harmful to readability.

Example of an unqualified import: Import com.castsoftware.product.*
