title: why does Eclipse import a class when referencing it with @See
body: <p>Why does Eclipse add an import for the target class of a Javadoc @see comment?</p>
  
  <p>If you run this through findbugs or PMD they complain that its an unused import.</p>
  
  <p>So which is correct? Personally I can't see why eclipse wants to import it.</p>
  
  <pre><code> import java.util.List;
   /**
   * @see List
   */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The same is true for 'link'</p>
  
  <pre><code> import java.util.List;
   /**
   * {@link List}
   */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does any have any ideas why?</p>
