It is much more convenient and cleaner to use a single statement like

import java.awt.*;

than to import a bunch of individual classes

import java.awt.Panel; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Canvas; ...

What is wrong with using a wildcard in the import statement?

The problem with it is that it clutters your local namespace.
