java imports first?

around 9:17 he says we're supposed to put the java imports first, but in the other file it's the other way around. Also in the challenge following this video I got an error when I tried to put the java import first.

"Bummer! Make sure you keep the package statement on the first line. "

packages are always before imports :) Most IDE like Eclipse and Netbeans will create the package automatically at the top of your code and the imports right under it.

When there is no package needed, of course the imports are first. Sometimes you just want to import a package while the file should not be part of the package. The order of imports is not relevant
