How might I call java functions without having to use 'import <x>' in each function

I am using the java robot class to simulate events in an .m file To use this, I must call: 'import java.awt.*' and 'import java.awt.event.*'

From this, I make a robot: rob=Robot;

Now, I can call events with the robot using things like rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VJ_K) rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VJ_K)

I want to be able to use this java robot in subfunctions, however the robot's member functions are not accessible if I call the subfunctions from within my original function. the program only works 'correctly' if I call 'import java.awt.*' 'import java.awt.event.*'

inside each subfunction. I want to be able to pass my robot into subfunctions, how might I do this without calling 'import' for each one and rendering my program horribly slow..?

"import" has no effect on the speed of a Java program. The statement only tells the compiler where to find classes so that it can do type-checking etc.
