Eclipse add imports below comment

When I'm creating Java files, I like to maintain a similar layout between all of my files, which looks something like this:

/*
 * ThisFile.java
 * Jamie Davies (2012)
 */

imports

package name

class

However, when Eclipse automatically adds appropriate import statements for me (which is a very handy feature), it always adds them to the very top of the file - resulting in my file comment being pushed down.

Is there any way to get Eclipse to automatically add imports at a certain position in the file - i.e, after my comment?

I've tried looking at the 'New Java Files' template, but there doesn't seem to be a $variable for important statements. I'm running Eclipse Juno (4.2.0) on OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).

Edit: It actually appears that after I've manually placed one import statement, Eclipse will automatically add others to the same location as the first.

In the new java files template, edit the present one to the following

${filecomment}
${package_declaration}

${typecomment}
${type_declaration}

Hope that helps. You could even try new variables by clicking on the Insert Variable button.

add the first import by yourself and eclipse will automatically generate the others just following yours.
