/**
 * <p>
 * Checks that the groups of import declarations appear in the order specified
 * by the user. If there is an import but its group is not specified in the
 * configuration such an import should be placed at the end of the import list.
 * </p>
 * The rule consists of:
 *
 * <p>
 * 1. STATIC group. This group sets the ordering of static imports.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * 2. SAME_PACKAGE(n) group. This group sets the ordering of the same package imports.
 * Imports are considered on SAME_PACKAGE group if <b>n</b> first domains in package name
 * and import name are identical.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *{@code
 *package java.util.concurrent.locks;
 *
 *import java.io.File;
 *import java.util.*; //#1
 *import java.util.List; //#2
 *import java.util.StringTokenizer; //#3
 *import java.util.concurrent.*; //#4
 *import java.util.concurrent.AbstractExecutorService; //#5
 *import java.util.concurrent.locks.LockSupport; //#6
 *import java.util.regex.Pattern; //#7
 *import java.util.regex.Matcher; //#8
 *}
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * If we have SAME_PACKAGE(3) on configuration file,
 * imports #4-6 will be considered as a SAME_PACKAGE group (java.util.concurrent.*,
 * java.util.concurrent.AbstractExecutorService, java.util.concurrent.locks.LockSupport).
 * SAME_PACKAGE(2) will include #1-8. SAME_PACKAGE(4) will include only #6.
 * SAME_PACKAGE(5) will result in no imports assigned to SAME_PACKAGE group because
 * actual package java.util.concurrent.locks has only 4 domains.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * 3. THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE group. This group sets ordering of third party imports.
 * Third party imports are all imports except STATIC,
 * SAME_PACKAGE(n), STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE and SPECIAL_IMPORTS.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * 4. STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE group. By default this group sets ordering of standard java/javax
 * imports.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * 5. SPECIAL_IMPORTS group. This group may contains some imports
 * that have particular meaning for the user.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * NOTE!
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Use the separator '###' between rules.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To set RegExps for THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE and STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE groups use
 * thirdPartyPackageRegExp and standardPackageRegExp options.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Pretty often one import can match more than one group. For example, static import from standard
 * package or regular expressions are configured to allow one import match multiple groups.
 * In this case, group will be assigned according to priorities:
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 *    STATIC has top priority
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    SAME_PACKAGE has second priority
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE and SPECIAL_IMPORTS will compete using "best match" rule: longer
 *    matching substring wins; in case of the same length, lower position of matching substring
 *    wins; if position is the same, order of rules in configuration solves the puzzle.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    THIRD_PARTY has the least priority
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 *    Few examples to illustrate "best match":
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *    1. patterns STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE = "Check", SPECIAL_IMPORTS="ImportOrderCheck" and input
 *    file:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *{@code
 *import com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.imports.CustomImportOrderCheck;
 *import com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.imports.ImportOrderCheck;}
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 *    Result: imports will be assigned to SPECIAL_IMPORTS, because matching substring length is 16.
 *    Matching substring for STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE is 5.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *    2. patterns STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE = "Check", SPECIAL_IMPORTS="Avoid" and file:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *{@code
 *import com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.imports.AvoidStarImportCheck;}
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 *   Result: import will be assigned to SPECIAL_IMPORTS. Matching substring length is 5 for both
 *   patterns. However, "Avoid" position is lower then "Check" position.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *    Properties:
 * </pre>
 * <table summary="Properties" border="1">

 * For example:
 * </p>
 *        <p>To configure the check so that it matches default Eclipse formatter configuration
 *        (tested on Kepler, Luna and Mars):</p>
 *        <ul>
 *          <li>group of static imports is on the top</li>
 *          <li>groups of non-static imports: &quot;java&quot; and &quot;javax&quot; packages
 *          first, then &quot;org&quot; and then all other imports</li>
 *          <li>imports will be sorted in the groups</li>
 *          <li>groups are separated by, at least, one blank line</li>
 *        </ul>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;customImportOrderRules&quot;
 *        value=&quot;STATIC###STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE###SPECIAL_IMPORTS&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;specialImportsRegExp&quot; value=&quot;org&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;sortImportsInGroupAlphabetically&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;separateLineBetweenGroups&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 *        <p>To configure the check so that it matches default IntelliJ IDEA formatter
 *        configuration (tested on v14):</p>
 *        <ul>
 *          <li>group of static imports is on the bottom</li>
 *          <li>groups of non-static imports: all imports except of &quot;javax&quot;
 *          and &quot;java&quot;, then &quot;javax&quot; and &quot;java&quot;</li>
 *          <li>imports will be sorted in the groups</li>
 *          <li>groups are separated by, at least, one blank line</li>
 *        </ul>
 *
 *        <p>
 *        Note: &quot;separated&quot; option is disabled because IDEA default has blank line
 *        between &quot;java&quot; and static imports, and no blank line between
 *        &quot;javax&quot; and &quot;java&quot;
 *        </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;customImportOrderRules&quot;
 *        value=&quot;THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE###SPECIAL_IMPORTS###STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE
 *        ###STATIC&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;specialImportsRegExp&quot; value=&quot;^javax\.&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;standardPackageRegExp&quot; value=&quot;^java\.&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;sortImportsInGroupAlphabetically&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;separateLineBetweenGroups&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;
 *&lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>To configure the check so that it matches default NetBeans formatter
 *    configuration (tested on v8):</p>
 * <ul>
 *     <li>groups of non-static imports are not defined, all imports will be sorted as a one
 *         group</li>
 *     <li>static imports are not separated, they will be sorted along with other imports</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <pre>
 *&lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>To set RegExps for THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE and STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE groups use
 *         thirdPartyPackageRegExp and standardPackageRegExp options.</p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;customImportOrderRules&quot;
 *    value=&quot;STATIC###SAME_PACKAGE(3)###THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE###STANDARD_JAVA_PACKAGE&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;thirdPartyPackageRegExp&quot; value=&quot;com|org&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;standardPackageRegExp&quot; value=&quot;^(java|javax)\.&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Also, this check can be configured to force empty line separator between
 * import groups. For example
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;separateLineBetweenGroups&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * It is possible to enforce
 * <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Order">ASCII sort order</a>
 * of imports in groups using the following configuration:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;sortImportsInGroupAlphabetically&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Example of ASCII order:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 *import java.awt.Dialog;
 *import java.awt.Window;
 *import java.awt.color.ColorSpace;
 *import java.awt.Frame; // violation here - in ASCII order 'F' should go before 'c',
 *                       // as all uppercase come before lowercase letters}
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To force checking imports sequence such as:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 * package com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.imports;
 *
 * import com.google.common.annotations.GwtCompatible;
 * import com.google.common.annotations.Beta;
 * import com.google.common.annotations.VisibleForTesting;
 *
 * import org.abego.treelayout.Configuration;
 *

 *                                                     // THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE group
 * import android.*;}
 * </pre>
 * configure as follows:
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name=&quot;CustomImportOrder&quot;&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;customImportOrderRules&quot;
 *    value=&quot;SAME_PACKAGE(3)###THIRD_PARTY_PACKAGE###STATIC###SPECIAL_IMPORTS&quot;/&gt;
 *    &lt;property name=&quot;specialImportsRegExp&quot; value=&quot;android.*&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
