What is the difference between implicit import statements and explicit import statements?

Java

In some cases, many explicit import statements equal only one implicit import statement. Would you rather type this:

import Java.util.ArrayList;

import Java.util.List;

import Java.util.Collection;

import Java.util.LinkedList;

import Java.util.Queue;

import Java.util.HashMap;

import Java.util.Map;

import Java.util.PriorityQueue;

than this:

import Java.util.*;

Well, the first group of statements is functionally equivalent to the first one.
