Decent Java IDEs handle import statements automatically. (And can also organize them for you)
Many people don't like Eclipse but I find the Java-oriented distribution it pretty decent for an IDE. Auto-complete is handled well, and searching through classes/types is also easy. (Knowing the shortcut keys helps)
As for imports, when you start typing a class name that isn't currently imported or in scope, you can use auto-complete to select which one you want. There may be multiple matches from multiple packages if you are searching for a class name of `Result`, so you can select the `org.foo.someframework.Result` and the IDE will add the import statements for you.
In general, I haven't really had much trouble with Java and an IDE, even in large projects with a huge number of dependencies.
I haven't really tried IntelliJ but from the feedback I've heard, it's a great IDE as well.
