Unimporting in Scala

Question

I heard recently some advice to \"unimport an implicit conversion from Predef\" - I presume that this means it is possible to unimport unwanted classes

Answer 1

Use the import alias feature but rename the "unwanted class" to "_". Since "_" can not be accessed in Scala code as a classname, it hides the renamed class from unqualified access.

import java.awt.{List => _, _}
