A .java file dragged from the file list pane into the
interactions window causes an import statement for each
class in the file to be entered into the interactions.
A project folder imports the entire class.

This would make interactive testing easier, eliminating
the need to import the class that's being tested.

    What about automatically importing the packages of open
    classes instead?

    I'd be concerned with drag-and-drop, because I had no idea
    what the intended result was without reading the rest of the
    feature request (and I would never have guessed importing).
    Unfortunately, even auto-import is a little unintuitive and
    could lead to strange behavior. If not auto-import, perhaps
    a contextual menu item by right clicking on the document
    name or project folder?

    The context menu item would not be difficult to implement at
    all. Each document is already capable of returning the
    package declared in its text. I assume there's already an
    easy means of actually inputting/executing commands in the
    interactions.
