Is it possible for intellij to organize imports the same way as in Eclipse?

I'm working on a project where all the team members are using Eclipse and I'm the only IDEA user. This creates a lot of noise from imports rearrangements. The order in which eclipse imports is: Java, Javax, Org, Com, everything else in alphabetical order. Is it possible to configure IDEA to follow these rules?

In update to Max's answer, the correct order for resolving the checkstyle warnings. I updated the following in IntelliJ:

static all other, 
blank 
com.*
java.* 
javax.*
org.*  
all other imports

Some more details: I ended up performing these steps to match out of the box eclipse organizing:

(in Settings > Editor > Code Style > Java > imports, as mentioned by @yole)

  • set "class count to use import with '*'" to 99 (seems like you cannot turn this off)

  • set this ordering for Import Layout (like eclipse defaults):

      static all other, 
  blank, 
  java.*, 
  blank, 
  javax.*, 
  blank, 
  org.*, 
  blank, 
  com.*, 
  blank, 
  all other imports

FWIW, there is an Intellij plugin called "eclipse code formatter" that I evaluated for this purpose and ended up discarding, because it set up a separate shortcut (in OSX) that was already in use by core IDE functionality.

The best way is to use Eclipse Code Formatter plugin.
