In Intellij IDEA 15, how do I exclude certain items from optimize imports?

Question

I typically want IntelliJ IDEA always optimize imports and never use wildcards. However, in test classes, I never want static imports for the following entries to be optimized, or even removed even if they're not in use:

import static com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured.*;
import static com.jayway.restassured.matcher.RestAssuredMatchers.*;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

Is it possible to do this?

You need to specify excluding rules for appropriate Java packages in IntellijIdea Settings.

Go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java. Now you may see:

Then you need to click to tab "Imports". To apply exclusion rules please add packages to "Packages to Use Import with '*'". I added exclusion for org.junit.* and for org.mockito.*:

Now you need to save this configuration and even if you go to you test class and run "Optimize imports" it won't do anything with static imports you specified.
